I'm sure I speak for many, and I would be very interested in a K3 if it has a
general coverage receiver.
That's the main reason I can't seriously consider a K2 to meet my needs. I
do a LOT of listening - far more than operating. So a compact mobile
transceiver MUST have a general coverage
Thanks, Tom (N0SS) Wayne (N6KR) for the backlight upgrade for my K1. Now,
the rig is complete!
While the kit and instructions are first rate, this upgrade is not for the
faint of heart. Although I was careful not to use any more heat than necessary
in removing the cut pins from the old LCD,

If you have ANY metal nearby (e.g., railing), you could use the vise-grips
mount and a hamstick, or better an Outbacker. The mount is basically a set of
pliers with a stud welded on the tip. Using the Outbacker gives you the
freedom to change bands simply by changing taps.

Ron, I've always attempted to slip in an occasional muffed character in my

I recently decided to upgrade the tuning knob on my K1. I purchased
several different knobs and have a few spares, if anyone is interested.

To echo comments by Kevin and others, you really need to be involved in the

In addition to the other benefits that have been pointed out, I can assure

I've completed and installed a KAT1 ATU in my K1-4, s/n 1453. I'm surprised
and pleased that in addition to effectively tuning the antenna coax for
lowest SWR, the ATU acts as a preselector and improves the gain of the
