[Elecraft] Re.: [Elecraft_K3] Does the K3 need refreshing ......OR

[KA1OZ]

I've been following this thread and realized how different my
perspective is!  Unlike many hams, I tend to seek out what I consider to
be the best available rig that matches my resources and make the
purchase for the long haul.

I've been operating on and off since 1960 and have only owned very few
stations (Johnson Viking II w/ HQ110, National NCX-3, K3).  When I
decided on the K3 (Serial 859) I was looking for a solid rig that would
be on the air for ever...and I think I've got it!

As an early adopter of the K3 I've watched it become more of a radio the
longer I've had it, keeping up with the firmware updates and some of the
hardware updates as well as my increasing knowledge of how to make the
radio more mine as I learned more about the configuration possibilities.

And now my beloved K3 is becoming mature and has taken on the status of
being my old friend.  I can't imagine replacing it with any other rig on
the market today.
