[Elecraft] K3 SSB is it really better

[David F. Reed]

Rich,

I will be using my K3 rather than my usual 7800 this weekend, so I can 
give you a better report then, but that I am willing to do it speaks 
something to that; so far my experience has been good enough to warrant it.

What bands will you be working at Richard's?
