K3: KPA500 vs XYL

>Now to figure out how to tell the missus!
>(I don't think I had better tell her that I want a P3 to with it too!) :-)

Don't you guys have any imagination?
Fur coat, shopping trip to Paris, etc., etc.......

Ralph, VE7XF

Fortunately, I'm 'between wives' at the moment, and don't have that problem.

Hi Guys,

None of those XYL blandishments would work with my beloved of over 48
years married life. At the time we got engaged, I gave her a string of
pearls. She asked me, "How much did they cost?" I should have
recognised the warning signs then.

Several years ago, we were in Sorrento in Italy. I took her into a
jeweller's store and told her that as I was getting on in years, she
could have any ring in the store (within reason) that she fancied. She
told me that she would rather have the money in the bank in case she had
to put me onto a nursing home.

Still, she cares for me, she really does. Always been at my bedside
when coming out of an anaesthetic. As the Brits say, "Mustn't grumble!"

Well, guys, enjoy your KPA500s. I will just have to build mine with an
MOT power supply and 813s or a Russian GU74b.

Re: K3: KPA500 vs XYL

Daughter are a worry though...my daughter lives in Las Vegas, NV, and when I
told her there was a package arriving from Watsonville and to send it on to
me, she asked "what is it?", so I tolds her.

The response was I was spending her inheritance..:-(

Oh, and yep, she is licensed too

I really can't win...love'em heaps, but I am outnumbered and outgunned...or
if you insist, a wimp...:-)

Life is great though as I know my daughter will select a nice retirement
home for her Dad...minus the Elecraft K Line.

Gotta run, the nice man in the white coat is calling me.....

Re: K3: KPA500 vs XYL

In reply to this post by Kevin Luxford

You guys are lucky to still have your XYLs. My best friend died in January. If she was still here and if I wanted a KPA500, she would tell me the same thing that she said when I wanted a K3, "You want it, buy it."

Now I regret not giving her everything she wanted.

Wes N7WS

ps. I don't want a KPA500, I wanted a KPA1500.
