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,
