Thanks for all the replies and good advice! I’m going to get the K3S with the antenna tuner (I’m just using a wire strung between two trees) and the 2.7kHz filter. I’ll add filters as I see the need and the other stuff too like a DVR, second Rx, etc. I’ll just wait until my experience progresses and I really feel like I would benefit from the various options. I was reminded that the parts are calibrated at the factory ready for me to install them at a later date if I wish and that its not that hard until you get the second Rx so I can add filers and other options myself as needed. Probably order the “Casual User” package as its slightly cheaper to go that route than a la cart. I still have my old antenna, mic, headphones, power supply, etc so just need the radio.
Thanks again for all the emails!
