You might want to drive around the block for awhile in a used ford or chevy before you jump into Ferrari (read as Elecraft). Put your extra money into some good antenna hardware. After a few months you will have a better idea of your operating habits and preferences. Meanwhile you will have a ball.
Good luck and congratulations.

I just passed my General and am trying to put together my first "shack." I have heard fantastic, rave reviews about the Flex and also about the KX3. My only concerns about the KX3 is that after putting out about $1,500 for the basic KX3 and Tuner and Filter added, I still will only have a 10 watt unit. I want it to be my mobile and my base unit. Will I have to chuck out another thousand bucks for the 100 watt amp? Thanks and 73s--Steve -- Steve Hamon ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
