[Elecraft] Super K3

[eric manning]

IN 1954 I had the Walter Ashe Radio kit which comprised a 2-triode 
regenerative receiver [6SN7]
, a 6AG7 - 6L6 rockbound transmitter on 40 and 80, and a single power 
supply with a 2-position switch.
[That's called T-R switching!]

The whole station cost aboot $50 and I really liked it. But I liked the 
NC-57 which I got next better,
and then the  HRO-5 better yet.  But I had to use a BC-453 command set 
tuned to the IF as a back end to get enough overall
gain to hear the noise.

Ah, the good old days. [But I won't try to tell you it was better than 
the K3! NOTHING is better than the K3.]
