Right now, at 100W out and S2 line noise, I can hear the noise clearly while
sending at 30 WPM. It sounds like a code practice oscillator and is clearly
superior to the TS-930S sitting next to it. (The 930 has some clicky
artifacts that don't exist on the K3.)
I used the K3 in the Sweepstakes, and most of the time I (well, the
computer) was CQing at 30 wpm. Sometimes a guy would call me a little
late after I had started another CQ. I heard these guys right away and
killed the CQ, usually missing (or often, not missing!) just the first
letter of his call.
I've found with other radios that the sidetone was too clicky or thumpy
to use in a contest, and I always ended up with semi-QSK. The K3 is the
first radio that I can comfortably run in full QSK in a contest
situation without discomfort.
