I'm using a GAMMA HPS-1a and a Astron SS-25 with the K3, though not
simultaneously.
I bought the HPS-1a to go with the K3, it's a great unit, though you need to
be aware of its limitations.
I was just recently given the SS-25 and it is workin
Hello, Everyone:
I want to thank all of you for sharing your wisdom, ideas, and
recommendations with me for my purchase of a K3. To be honest, I was
overwhelmed by the enthusiastic responses, and I want you all to know how
much I appreciate it. Unless something changes my mind, based upon what

Dear Charles,
One additional module wasn't mentioned before : the DVR.
In case of contesting the Digital Voice Recorder is a must !
And, if you don't have equivalent equipment, the Heil Headset is highly
recommended.

Chuck,
If you are going to get "hot and heavy" into SSB contests, then yes, the
1.8 kHz filter is a good choice. The 1.5 would be even better in really
tight situations.
However, you said you were just returning to ham radio - so it may be
that you just want to 'get your feet wet' in contests
I'll agree here... I've got 2 1.5Khz filters in my radio and spend a lot
of time using them and have no problems using them. They pass the
voices quite nicely and are very intelligible. I find that having them
engage at 1.6Khz works best for me. I find I'm usually using 1.6Khz for
my SSB work ev

The K3 engages each roofing filter

I am relatively new to the K3 and I am not a contester. I did want to
give my reactions to the 1.8 filter as a second SSB filter. I have one
and I have been listening through it.
The way the filters work, the K3 does not kick in the filter until you
narrow the bandwidth to that filter's size.
Let me add that my Kenwood MC-60A mike, leftover from a previous rig
(TS-930S), seems to work fine with the K3. John W2XS

Congrats on the K3 decision. I have S/N 919 and it has been a joy to use and
upgrade over the past 2 years. Here are my opinions on things that might be
interesting for your K3 station.
Power Supply:
Astron RS-35A (no meters - the K3 can display the voltage and current). I
got a good deal from
I¹ve made the decision to buy a K3, but before I do, I would like to solicit
some recommendations from you. I¹ve been out of ham radio for a long time
and am finally getting back into it. My initial plan is to operate SSB for
fun and contests. Over time, I hope to get back to CW and possibly
atus in my career-building years, and
have had much more fun on the second pass than I did initially.
