I really like the ability of K3 and KX3 (I have both) to code and decode
RTTY and PSK31. It is very helpful to work those expeditions without need to
change logging software. It was also very helpful when operating from DX
locations and being asked for a quick digi QSO.
Now here is the question.
You are all "sick" if you think that 5 watts from a K3 is some how magically
greater
than 5 watts from some other brand like Yaesu 5000mp or Kenwood TS590. The
brand
probably is the least likely variable as to whether you are heard or not.
Most modern
transmitters are equally as bad as the next.
I beg to differ for one simple reason; many of the K-I-Y transmitters send out
a variety of noises, excessive width and IMD, that is not from users
overdriving but is the manufacturers simply "cheaping out" to save money.
Elecraft does it right; focus on quality, always. (Go big or go home.)
With only about 8000 K3's and what 3 or 4+ million other radios. I don't
think the Ham world cares much about that. And those 8000 aren't making
much difference on the air. But drink another glass of Kool-Aid and you
might even think because the K3 uses less power it's going to solve
global war
I do not know how and why this thread turned into someting different but the
original question was- is Elecraft going to do FW upgrade to add PSK63 to
the mix of modes KX3 and K3 already have? PSK63 is getting very popular and
I would be happy to have it coded and decoded by KX3 (and K3).
73,
Yes, it's on the wish-list for both the K3 and KX3.
73,
