[Elecraft] A confession

[Gary NL7Y]

I'm Gary and I'm a ham radio operator. This winter I bought my second K3/P3
to replace a mediocre new TS-990. After some self generated issues with the
speaker output, the sub-receiver VFO, and hard reset, I sent the K3 back to
Elecraft for regeneration. It was fixed in a timely manner and returned.
Thank you Elecraft.

In the meantime I reverted to my trusty two...a Kenwood TS-590 and Yaesu
MK-V Field. Both work well, are simple to use and maintain, and have their
place in my shack. Recently FT5ZM was monitored and worked with the
590...good S5 copy on both but the key was hooked to the 590, so it got the
nod. Next to VK0IR, that's a long haul via Grey Line from Interior KL7. 

Now the confession. The K3 still sits in its unopened box, next to the
P3/SVGA in its. I keep asking myself, will I ever remove and use them again?
I'm not a SDR or computer enthusiast, and the reason I got rid of the first
K3/P3 was having to deal with the occasional O/S bumps, frequent updates,
and relatively complex user interface for both. Being a slave to a piece of
equipment no longer interests me.

I'm still working on a solution. Anyone else go through this to their
satisfaction?

73, Gary NL7Y
