[Elecraft] Buying a new K3/100 kit - Top 3 options?

[Phil Wheeler]

What I meant to send:

Mine is arriving today. I pretty much maxed it out 
*except* for the sub-receiver, a personal choice. 
Filters are .400. 1.0, 2.1, 2.8 and 6. I did get 
the TCXO option -- mostly in case I eventually get 
transverters. Also the KXV3 since my local ham 
friend showed me the utility of a panadapter (so 
the P3 is coming, too).

But my first choices would have been 100 W, ATU 
and 400 Hz filter (home antennas will need ATU 
unless I use a manual tuner and change it for each 
band). I have the K2, qrp or 100, which will be my 
main portable rig -- usually qrp for less power reqd.

Hey, big package just arrived, so ... .

73, Phil w7ox
