[Elecraft] K3 how often do you use it?

[Lee Buller]

I cannot believe the threads we get here....

The K3 is my main
station.  I used it along for rag chew...Dxing...and contesting.  It
runs SSB - CW - PSK - RTTY.  It feeds a AL82 and a lot of antennas on a
city lot.  Again, it is my main rig.  I have no Y or K or I or T in the
shack.  I do have a K2 because I love the rig.  I also have a Knight
T-50, a Drake 2B, and a HQ-110.  I use the K3 for everything.  It never
moves off the desk.  If I want to set a parameter...I used the menus or
a computer program.  It is not hard.  I find the rig perfect in size. 
I pound on this rig weekly. (read: use it regularly if you cannot
understand idioms.  Don't think I have a hammer in the shack whacking
on it each week.)

If you want buttons....get a Y or K or I or T ... but I
am happy with all the features of the K3...and it has ... I repeat ...
has gotten better since I got in two years ago.  It has great
buttons...very sexy! :>)

The K3 is the best I have used.

Now...if
you want no knobs...or menus...go buy and old TT Triton IV.  Now that
was skimpy with knobs and buttons.  Don't forget to get a external VFO
for split.

 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?
