I know one of those, obviously far better off than we are, who  tips on 
the total less tax in a restaurant.  I decided to buy him lunch.  It is 
what it is, we're all different.

On-topic question:  I'm totally happy with my fairly vanilla K3 [S/N 642 
upgraded a few years ago at Elecraft].  No sub-Rx, 2.7 SSB and 500 Hz 
CW, DVR, and KBPF3.  95% CW, rest RTTY [contests] and SSB [SOTA].  My 
K-line is "fairly well installed in the rack," the rear gives new 
meaning to the term "wireless," and taking it apart is a bit of a chore. 
  Getting it back together is a bigger chore.

What would I gain from the new Synth?  I have no nearby phase noise 
problems since Jim [WX6V] got a K3, and I think my TX signal is "within 
specs."

73,
