The IARU contest was the first chance to try SN#1037 out in more crowed
band conditions. We were multi-op single transmitter so three persons
used the radio and we were both CW and SSB. It was a serious effort with
1967 contacts in the 24 hours and over 1,000,000 points. All the

Coming back on-topic, a feature for the K3 that could be very helpful in
setting RF output and compression levels would be a peak-holding RF
output meter (for SSB only, just like the CONFIG: SMTR PK option). Or is

When you have done your technical due-dilligence on the receive end and you
know for a fact that another station is splattering badly and QRMing you and
a lot of other people... How do you tell him? Or do you? I hate creating bad
feelings on the air, and the usual rejoinder when I've actually tried

Hi, Ed,
Thanks for taking the time to write all this down. It is some great
