Tom,
Your HF operating aspirations will tell you which options will be best
for your K3S.
Since you will be a newcomer to HF, I would suggest you start with the
basic 100 watt K3S until you discover what you really want and develop
your HF operating style.
With your antenna situation, I would suggest that you add the KAT3
internal antenna tuner.
If your operation on 2 meters will be mostly FM, then stick with your
current FM gear. If you want to operate FM and/or AM with the K3S, you
will need the 13 kHz filter.
Yes, order the K3S kit, it is no solder, but plenty of exercise with a
screwdriver. The main advantage is that you will be familiar with the
inside of the K3S and you will not hesitate to add whatever additional
options you might want later.
73,
Don W3FPR

Hello Elecraft subscribers,
I've been a ham for quite some time as a Technician class using
2-meter. I'm retired now with more time for my hobbies.
I'll be taking my General class exam soon and moving on to HF.
I've built many Heath kits in the day, so the Elecraft kits are striking my
interest.
I'm trying to configure a K3s kit and would sure like some help from you
experienced hams.
