I just ordered KE7X's book, and will use it to help me understand how to configure my order for a rig. Based on all the positive reports, here, and in many private emails, I will be ordering a fully loaded K3 shortly. I am a firm believer in user base support, and my God this radio has that! It is good to see! :) Next step is to figure out which filters to order... :)
