Thank you, Grant, NQ5T! Well said! Elecraft has "spoiled" some of these "kids" too much. Kids, you have one of the best rigs on the planet...ENJOY IT! If you want a "Big Box" radio, there are plenty out there go buy one. The size of the K3 was one of the features that appealed to me. ....aaahhhh..... I feel better now! :.-) Stan, KF4BY
