Yes I am happy to see my country of birth and citizenship again
producing quality ham radio equipment. It is natural to feel this way
but
my dream car is still a Porsche.

Doug,
My dream rig was always a "made in USA" ensemble of some sort. When I
decided to become an active ham again, I looked at what was now available
and landed in a big vat of Elecraft Kool-Aid. So many choices! I looked at
the Flexradio offerings too, but while "interesting" they didn't seem very
affordable or as good as (spec wise) the Elecraft KX3. Plus, they just don't
have the "look and feel" of an amateur radio. Okay, that pretty much dates
me.
I would like to have a K3/100 and all the accessories, but I can't afford
that yet. Back in the day it would have been a Collins KWM-2A, but I
couldn't afford that either. Maybe by the time I can afford it, Elecraft
will be making the KX3/KW (hand-held hot-pocket rocket pumping out 1.5KW
PEP). Yeah, riiiiight. You think your cell phone gets hot? Hi hi!
My dream car is a Tesla Sportster. By the time I can afford one of those it
will have the Mr. Fusion option.
