[Elecraft] Got teh radio...

[Phil Wheeler]

Sounds good, David. I've done substantial rework, 
too -- but mostly due to the KPA500 (needed RG-213 
to replace RG-8X runs in the shack -- and added 
switches so I can use 3/4 antennas with K3/500 or 
other rigs, like K1, KX1, K2/100 and KX3).

I'm never likely to post pictures of my shack: It 
will never be that neat, I fear.

Congrats on your K3! I've had mine a couple of 
months or so, and I expect to still be learning a 
year from now (e.g., just set it up to do PSK31 
with a SignaLink USB today).

73, Phil w7ox
