Al, Here's another complaint. It seems the Elecraft refelector is stripping the .<dripping with (welldeserved) sarcasm> tag from your post just like it did the same to my last post. On the other hand, my audio spectrum analyzer reports the cw pitch as 600 Hz; I use it routinely because I like it better than Elecraft's CWT.
I do still have my FT-101E in reserve if the K3 faults become too much to tolerate. 73, Dunc, W5DC Al Lorona wrote: > ____________________________________ > ...Does part of the K3 spec mention that it's supposed to be a precision > swr indicator?... > > 73, Dunc, W5DC > ____________________________________ > > I am shocked and dismayed that the SWR indicator in the K3 does not, after > all, rival an external, laboratory-grade instrument.
