[Elecraft] Dayton observation and learning about equipment

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

I have only been a licence's ham for slightly over 2 years and I have 
learned a lot of lessons.

One of these lessons is you have to pay for quality in your gear.   I 
looked as stuff that I did not purchase in my recent past as I did not 
really understand the true differences in equipment I have since 
determined that I did not get the best bang for my buck.

I spent a lot of time looking at amps and tuners this weekend as I want 
to take my power cube and put it in the jeep where it belongs.

Anyway long story short after spending a lot of time with Lyle talking 
about the new elecraft amp and future tuner I was really impressed with 
the total integration of the package (plus I received a great NB 
lesson).   I have determined that I have a lot of options on where to 
spend my money in the future and this time I will only spend it on stuff 
that has quality workmanship and design.

So I want to say thanks to the elecraft team for a great product and I 
will save up again and get a quality amp and tuner and it will surely 
match the K3.

I only wish I could have ordered my stuff at Dayton this year, but alas 
a cracked tooth and root canal has tapped my savings for additional toys 
in the shack.

Cheers
