I know nobody wants to hear this but I'm sure its something you already know. Elecraft cannot put a time stamp on when a new firmware release with updated features will be available. There is one persone who does MCU coding (Wayne) and one person who does DSP coding (Lyle). Right now their e

Bill Björn and Alexandr I agree with your sentiment, I indeed plan on using my K3 for 6 Meters and vhf/uhf weak signal operation. Hopefully they can implement this change before the Spring prior to E season and I get my K3 in March or April. 73 de Wp4o Ed Tampa,FL El 87 Bill W5WVO <[EMA

I'd like to join Alexandr and Bjorn in support of this feature. This is one of the most useful features on the 897 and has proved to be invaluable when on dxpeditions. Invariably, you'll be on SSB running a pileup and someone will be calling you on CW; it is SO handy to just hit the key and make a

Yes, Bjorn, it is marginal but when you plan to replace all 897 around used as I/F for microwaves... :-) Seriously - I know several other mostly UHF/SHF contesters - this is iportant function for them -- and they did not sent order for K3 yet ;-) 73! L. -dst- Björn Mohr napsal(a): This is so
