This is something I fight personally when I decide to enter a CW contest.

Totally agree with this statement. I don't do much CW rag chew now as I used
to. So I'm losing some of my edge.

Great read and very well said, Wayne :) You brought back a memory of my
sophomore year in high school back in the late 60's, still about 8 years away
from getting my ham ticket. I was one of those "nerds" who was taking an
electronics shop class. Our instructor was a ham operator. Aside from tea
I agree with Wes on his below statement. Same here exactly.

You might also want to check the frequency calibration of the P3 (page 31 in
the P3 manual). I happen to notice while checking the K3S frequency against WWV
and going through K3S calibration, the P3 was off about 250hz (with 600hz
sidetone).

Well stated Don, This was one of the deciding factors for me when I pulled the
trigger on Elecraft two years ago. I saw the value in being able to add
options along the way as/if, my operating style or conditions changed. Firmware
upgrades and support were the other reason. I wanted a rig "I"

Out of curiosity I just checked this with my K3S and found the same oddity.
During CW key down into a dummy load in TX Test mode the K3S draws 2.5 amps
from the 1 amp in RX, and the hash signal heard in another receiver into a
different dummy load appears to be 2.7Khz wide. Starts out as full sc
