Funny -- I find the K3 user interface totally logical and easy to use. Once I RTFM through once and studied it for details, I only needed to use it to look up configuration changes or new features. L

How we view ergonomics is a very personal thing. Itis strongly affected by what we're used to, to how our minds work, and what we do with our radios. ICOM's is different from Yaesu's, which is differ
Ten Tec made the Omni V. N4PY added a board that made it a V+. The used radio I bought had that board installed, and it added some useful functionality that made the radio a lot more user friendly. 2
5W at the antenna input. That's a LOT of signal. If it were to happen that I had signal overload, I would put the 20 db attenuator on. Or engage a bandpass filter if the signal is out of band. My nei
Thanks for the clarifications and comments, guys. K6TD commented on the UI, 2-3 years ago. He's both a contester and a DXer, and has been on several major DXpeditions. A UI that works for casual oper
If the A to D has say, 1 mV per bit response, then the largest input signal this 16 bit A to D can measure should be ~65,000 mV. Thats about 96 dB. Hi Gary, I worked in pro audio, and thought the sam
There is no free lunch -- those who buy WISELY get what they pay for. As a somewhat distant and very impartial observer, the Flex 6500/6700, the Elecraft K3, K3S, KX2, and KX3, and the Kenwood TS590S
Even the best of BPFs are unlikely to have steep enough skirts to prevent overload on 40M and 20M by broadcast stations in EU and AS. 5B4AGN's excellent 6-band TXBPF filter sets for the contesting ba
Several years ago, I measured a half dozen or so bandpass filter sets that I was able to borrow for NCCC members, and some that I owned. I wrote up a report, that was published in the National Contes
Barry, Did you find the link to the data plots? It's two paragraphs above the Attenuation Tables. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/BandpassFilterData.htm 73, Jim Barry N1EU Several years ago, I measured

Or a notch filter. http://www.scott-inc.com/html/notch.htm Or this filter, which specifies 17 dB attenuation typical at 1690 kHz. http://cliftonlaboratories.com/z10020_am_medium_wave_band_reject_filt
Hmmm. I don't see any specs at all, only one plot of response to a filter centered on 7078 kHz, with a very broad frequency scale, nothing to indicate the degree of attenuation at close spacing. No B
There is an important difference between a pre-selector and a bandpass filter, at least for the application that Rick has raised -- it's bandwidth. The issue that he has raised, and it can be a VERY
