When using synchronous detection on AM, is there a way to select which
sideband is rejected? Thanks. Lou, WA3MIX

It really is amazing! I never payed much attention to it with the old
TS-440 but, since I've had the K3, its quite revealing to tune above the
signal and note the drop-off. The difference between rigs can be dramatic!

I use the 400 hz filter for CW and find it is more than adequate for my
casual, rag-chewing oriented operation. Once i get a station tuned in
satisfactorily, I crank the DSP down to 100 hz or so and enjoy the quiet.

I wouldn't consider not having them a deal breaker but, as an op who is
blind I would certainly find them useful. I find the ascending and
descending tones that indicate whether a function is on or off absolutely
essential to every-day operation. lou, WA3MIX

One of the reasons I delight in the rock-solid stability of today's gear --
the K3 in particular -- is that I had a Vf1 when I was a brand-new ham in
69. It was good enough on 80 and 40 but when I fired it up on 10 meters
with the DX-40, it was WA3MIX AM FM. Lou

I'd love it if you could make it work with VoiceOver, the built-in IOS
screen reader. I've been looking for a way to remote the K3 and just
started learning the IOS. Many apps work great with VoiceOver so why not a
K3 or KX3 controller? Thanks. Lou WA3MIX

I get exactly that same benefit from using a keyboard keyer. Exposure to
good code, I think, really does breed better sending. If you're a good

You'd also be well advised, if its an unamplified D-104, to add one of the
op-amp matching circuits which can be powered from the K3. It'll make the

This is a great suggestion. Once you have the 100 watt amp that is meant
for the K3, you can always set your power for anything between 10 and 100
watts and you'll use no extra space on the desk, if that matters. It would

I have to say I've been amazed by the performance of the K3 internal tuner.
Since it's relay based, I expected it to be inferior to the tuner in my

half of the G5rV as a very short inverted-L on 160 which I

Susan,
I'm surprised you find the CW mode so noisy. I find that one of the best
things about the DSP in CW mode is that the more you narrow it, the more the
noise disappears. If the signal is strong enough, I can get rid of the
noise completely. Lou WA3MIX
