I've been following this thread and realized how different my perspective is! Unlike many hams, I tend to seek out what I consider to be the best available rig that matches my resources and make the purchase for the long haul.
I've been operating on and off since 1960 and have only owned very few stations (Johnson Viking II w/ HQ110, National NCX-3, K3). When I decided on the K3 (Serial 859) I was looking for a solid rig that would be on the air for ever...and I think I've got it! As an early adopter of the K3 I've watched it become more of a radio the longer I've had it, keeping up with the firmware updates and some of the hardware updates as well as my increasing knowledge of how to make the radio more mine as I learned more about the configuration possibilities. And now my beloved K3 is becoming mature and has taken on the status of being my old friend. I can't imagine replacing it with any other rig on the market today. -- 73 de Dick, ka1oz Elecraft K3/100K #859 G5RV Doublet ______________________________________________________________ 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
