Gary,

Wow a new rig every year!

Lets see:
1957 - new Knight Ocean Hopper $19.95, used Heath DX-35 $35
1966 - used Clegg Interceptor-B, used Johnson Ranger
1967- new Heath SB-110
1976 - new IC-211
1982 - new TS-180S
1996 - new Tentec Scout
1997 - used FT-840
1998 - new FT-847
1999 - new FT-817
2009 - new K3
2012? new KX3

54-years = 8 new radios - one every seven years.

Gary, Simply love the K3. You done your research - now just buy the K3.

Re: Itching for a new rig

Sales commission? You get a sales commission? ;-) Ed, I only had a new rig
the first few years. That was the first three years. What can I say, I was
excited about the hobby (I still am) and I was single. My first was a Kenwood
TS-530SP which I still have and use. My second rig was a Ten Tec Century 22 a
CW rig which I still have and use. My third rig was a Kenwood TS-440s which I
no longer have. In 2007 I bought a Ten Tec Argonaut V. I didn't like the DSP
so I sold it after eight months and bought the K2 and put it together. It
ended up being a K2/100 but, I switch the tops back and forth depending on how
I feel and what I want to work. I really like it and as well as my other rigs
but, darn it, I have this itch and it won't go away this time! I may have to
just buy a K3 and I'll blame you it it doesn't work out. Okay? ;-)

Re: Elecraft SSB Net

Hi Phil,

I am a newbie ham (about 1 year) and brand new K3 owner (two days online). I would like to attend the net but am not ready to take on a net faciitiation. Plus I don't have my Quadra yet connected to my K3. I will check in on 20m at the time to see if the net is taking place.

If someone takes on the net facilitation role, please send out a message as such.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Keith

Gary,

If you buy a K3, you need to blame *me* if it doesn't work out :)

Seriously, let me know if you have any lingering questions.

Re: Itching for a new rig

Hi Wayne, will in that case... It's Sunday evening and I just ordered the
K3.:-) I plan to keep my K2 and it will be interesting to see how they
compare.

Thanks,
Gary, N7HTS
