[Elecraft] [K3] New K3 User and New Ham

Dear Steve,
Welcome to the amateur and K3 community! I would like to share two thoughts
regarding a pre-made antenna and a power source.  First, I recommend you
make use of the eHam website - there's a lot of useful information and
reviews there.  Along that line, I suggest you look at the True-Talk 40m
G5RV.  I have one as an inverted V and I am very pleased with it.  I have
made contacts to Europe, Russia, Australia, etc.  The K3 will autotune from
80, 40, 20 and 10m.  The eHam review is found at 
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2202
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2202 .  A reasonable AC power supply is
the Alinco DM-340MVT for around $177.  I know there are a lot of other very
good options out there, these are just two.  It was not long ago that I was
a new ham and I remember appreciating the specific recommendations.  So you
may consider these in addition to the many great recommendations and
instructions you have already received from the more experienced hams on
this thread.
