So, to be fair, I was one of those gear hungry hams. I had outfitted my shack with every toy and gadget I could fit into my refitted closet. Then over the years I noticed that I was losing interest...first code, then data...and to be frank there was just nothing "new" and the hobby started to lose my interest. I sold much of my gear but continued to read and keep up.
Then came along the KX3. I read as much as I could find, dropped an order for every extra component on a Friday. The ups man was at my door on Tuesday with the little radio. I bought the pre-built model so literally I threw 26 feet of Wireman 534 and a counter poise on the BNC adaptor....2 min later I had a contact in Wisconsin. So why do I think it will rescue Ham radio? It forces us (ok, gently) to go back to being experimenters, operate remote, makes using code cool and useful, and to be honest just great fun. Great job Elecraft. Proud to now be a part of your family.
