[Elecraft] [OT] Jurrasic Radio vs. K3

[Lee Buller]

Fun thread....

This year at Dayton, I got a Hammarlund HQ-110 for a pretty good price.  I got it home and fired it up and works fine.  But, I have a new appreciation for the K2 and K3.  The 110 took 30 minutes to stabilize and I had forgotten the bandpass on these old rigs.  The BP is so wide that I had to kick in the filters between the ears.  Hi.  I appreciate the filters and DSP of today's rigs...light years ahead of where we were.  Then, I remember that back in the day we always worked split...because I had one Xtal and would work people sometimes 50 Khz away.

I got a Drake 2B coming in the mail next week off of Ebay and I am excited about that receiver.  Couple with my T-50, I am gonna rock!  HI.

Who would ever thought I would have three operating stations...which includes the above and a K2 and a K3.  Ham Radio is FUN!

And talking about equipment...I had an Ocean Hopper.  I tore it up and built a transmitter out of it.  Dumb move.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. -  J. Wolf

In 1971, at age 14, I had a Heath DX20 (from a swap meet) and a  
Hallicrafters SX111 (from an SK). I wonder which of the controls on a  
K3 I would have been able to figure out back then?  :)

That's about the time I first dreamed about designing my own kits. I  
even tried one: a digital tach. But those SN7490s were just too  
expensive....
