Do I understand that you are equating MFJ with Elecraft?  That's quite a
stretch! While I have great respect for W8JI's engineering, that does not
extend to MFJ's manufacturing, and Ameritron has common ownership with MFJ.
:)

I can also buy at least twenty different models of 100 watt HF transceiver
for much less than the cost of a K3. Yet I OWN two K3s.

I just returned from Visalia. The exhibit hall included large booths
showing Icom and Yaesu rigs. The Elecraft booth was JAMMED from the minute
the doors opened until they closed. The Yaesu and Icom booths had only
modest traffic, and were oftn next to deserted.
