Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
My suggestion is to take a couple of days off before the K3 arrives to do the repainting and repairs because when you have your K3 at home you will have no time anymore for this. :-) 73 Henk PA5KT Op 06-03-2011 22:45, stan levandowski schreef: > Thank you to the Lister who started the thread about "why I bought a > K3".

Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
I think the dog and the K3 weigh about the same... My wife is getting a new dog too. We agreed that I get an upgrade to my K3 if she gets another dog since the dog will cost much more in the long run. I can't decide if I want the second receiver or a P3.

Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
Stan, That's brilliant, your strategy and patience brought the results in the end. Please don't take offence, but I'm going to have to delete this email now in case it ever falls into the wrong hands!! Seriously, I've had my K3 (#980) now for over two years and I still like it a lot. I've added bits and pieces to it as time and finances have allowed, and that is one of the advantages of the Elecraft way. By the time we have paid shipping costs and taxes here in the UK it is certainly not a cheap line of equipment but we accept that for the quality we receive and the great service, much of it via this reflector. Give the dog a pat for me, I'm sure that he/she will soon get the hang of the paintbrush! 73 Stephen On 06/03/2011 22:13, "stan levandowski" wrote: > > > >Stephen, I spent my career in business and negotiation is how things get >done in business.

Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
Stan, Definitely a stroke of genius. I mean, the painting would have made your life miserable for a couple of days on the outside, and the Jack Russell will make your life miserable for the next 12 years. But you're going to fall in love with the little critter after a few weeks, and then it'll all be good :) As for your choice of rig. Well, I wasn't in doubt, if I was going to buy any rig it would be the K3, there was no other option, it's a "real" radio, not like those "PC's with built in RF radio card" that other manufacturers pass for high end transceivers. I am so happy with mine after a week and I feel confident I'll never regret it. It's only my second rig, the first one that saw me through my novice (Uk "Foundation Licence" period) was a TS-130S, almost as old as myself and bought from eBay for a couple of hundred pounds... 73, Thomas M6TTH On 6 March 2011 22:13, stan levandowski wrote: > > > Stephen, I spent my career in business and negotiation is how things get > done in business.

Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
Stephen, I spent my career in business and negotiation is how things get done in business. I began buttering her up a while back. Offering to cook supper, taking her out for Sunday breakfast, cleaning the bathrooms, etc. After a period of this "indirect" approach I then cut a cardboard box down to the 10x10x4 size of the K3 and pasted a downloaded picture of it on the box. I set it next to my K2 but said nothing. In a few days,, her curiosity got the best of her and she asked about it. I explained that it was my dream rig and that it would really be the final piece I'd need to complete my perfect All-Elecraft station. This all made it easier to get to "you can buy your radio after we finish the painting."

Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
We want you to make a video of the dog repainting the downstairs, hanging the ceiling fan and fixing the toilet. That was the tradeoff, right? Welcome to the K3 world!

Re: [Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago
Stan, You won't regret the K3 - the dog, well I'm not so sure about that! :-) Our Jack Russell drives me bonkers, although I live in Jack Russell land, the breed was first bred just a mile along the road from here by the Revd Jack Russell. I've bought my wife some nice antique earrings for her birthday in May, and now you've set me wondering what I'll be able to get away with then! So, to keep this on topic, I'm really looking forward to putting some more hardware in my P3. Monitor output? Directional coupler port? Coffee maker? Please? 73 Stephen G4SJP On 06/03/2011 21:45, "stan levandowski" wrote: > >Thank you to the Lister who started the thread about "why I bought a >K3".
