[Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago

[Thomas Horsten]

Stan,

Definitely a stroke of genius. I mean, the painting would have made
your life miserable for a couple of days on the outside, and the Jack
Russell will make your life miserable for the next 12 years. But
you're going to fall in love with the little critter after a few
weeks, and then it'll all be good :)

As for your choice of rig. Well, I wasn't in doubt, if I was going to
buy any rig it would be the K3, there was no other option, it's a
"real" radio, not like those "PC's with built in RF radio card" that
other manufacturers pass for high end transceivers. I am so happy with
mine after a week and I feel confident I'll never regret it. It's only
my second rig, the first one that saw me through my novice (Uk
"Foundation Licence" period) was a TS-130S, almost as old as myself
and bought from eBay for a couple of hundred pounds...

73, Thomas M6TTH
