Over over fifty years of hamming, I have used all of the famous older
rigs. In recent years I have rebuilt several of those classics - as the
nostalgia bug bites. I even had a Flex and a fancy computer to run it. I
have been running my K3 and assorted other K-Line toys for nearly three
years. My K3 has only the innards that I use (hence a "custom and
personally designed for me" radio). I did experience KAT500 tuner
problems early on, however, I was quickly assisted by Wayne and gang
with a software change that has made me a happy K-Line owner. All that
said, the K-Line makes the best station I have ever run, And, you can
make it as computer needy or independent as you wish. Again - all to
suit your specific needs and desires.
So far as those classic rigs I rebuilt? They were fun to rebuild and
bring back to full specs, but.... after running modern equipment, I
immediately missed memories, digital readout, DSP, etc. They were soon
sold to collectors and appreciators of classic equipment.
The only changes I plan on making here is to design a new desk - and
build same in my shop - specifically for my K-Line station.
