[Elecraft] Help with K3 Evaluation in Palo Alto

[Don Wilhelm]

Jay,

Why "shoot yourself in the foot" twice?
If you must have compromise antennas, that is one shot, and perhaps that 
is unavoidable.
I ask why you would use a compromise transceiver with a compromise antenna.
The K3 will perform better than that compromise transceiver even with a 
compromise antenna.

I am wondering if anybody might be willing to show me their K3 setup or even help me try it out in my location just to get a good feel for the performance?
