I just left the Elecraft booth an hour or so ago and the "K-Line" (LOVE that
name) did look great with the K3-P3-KPA500 combination bolted side-by-side. With
the amp at 26 pounds in weight per Eric, I'd guess the whole station comes out
well under 50 pounds . Of course you have to add a DC supply for the K3 but you
might still get in under 50 lbs overall even with a KAT500R added. IMPRESSIVE!!
I live in Silicon Valley not that far from Elecraft and that's USUALLY where I
see Eric. But I'm in Florida visiting a relative so thought I would check out
the Hamcation. Since Eric wasn't expecting to see me it was fun to see his
little double-take when he did and admitted to wondering for a millisecond if he
had REALLY just traveled 2500 miles :-) It's a pretty decent show - check it
out if you can,
