[Elecraft] How long until K3 is declared the greatest rig of all time?

[Don Wilhelm]

Kieth,

My vote is for the KWM2 because it brought the concept of transceivers 
to amateur radio.
My second vote is for the Drake C line.  I believe that was the 
turnaround point of amateur thinking about receiver performance.  Prior 
to that time, the major consideration for receiver specs was 
'sensitivity' - it did not matter how much noise was amplified, if it 
was more sensitive, it was better.

73,
Don W3FPR
