Dear R. Kevin - I'm sorry, but where I say:
"I bought the K3 despite this shortcoming, so I accept it, just like I | accept that, for me, the radio is a bit too physically small, but that | doesn't mean I have to like it. It means only that I understand that | practically everything in life is a compromise." R. Kevin, what part of that don't you understand, to justify the tone and content of your commentary? Looking forward to your reply, and hopefully, apology. 73, Steve NN4X On 5/30/08, R.
