Thanks for all the input, everyone. We'll save it all up for future reference. And if you have an idea that's too hot to post to the reflector, feel free to send it to me directly.

Please *do* ask for a K3, P3, KPA500, and a stack of transverters. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jul 26, 2011, at 9:53 PM, george fritkin wrote: > The new radio should not be a Swiss army of the frequency spectrum, > but a "tour de force" of Elecraft.
