You and me both! :( I can't really use the PA here, being limited to attic
antennas positioned about 1m above my head. I can't afford to cook what few
brain cells I have remaining! But I figured I'd complete the K3 eventually
in case I find myself in a different situation some time in the future.

Same with the 2nd RX. Don't really have a need for it here, though diversity
reception would be interesting. So I thought I'd wait until it is available
off the shelf, rather than take a place in the queue in front of someone who
really needs it.

Well, I've been saying the K3 is too cheap for a long time, and given the
current economic situation I guess price rises are inevitable. It's still
the best value for money radio available.
