The problem is not "confusion between manufacturers," but rather failure of the manufacturers of junk tools to follow long established international standards. There are MANY junk products of all sorts that are IMITATIONS of the real thing, everything from tools to shoes to ham gear (ever seen one of those $90 Chinese talkies?). Don is right -- a REAL #1 is all you need, That REAL #1 is all I've used to build two K3s, the KPA500, except, perhaps, to mount that big power XFMR in the KPA500 (don't remember what head is on it). 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
