[Elecraft] Love me K3 line

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

Once you have a reasonably loud signal and an antenna that allows you to 
hear the DX, the most important attribute of a DX-oriented station is 
agility. You can tune the bands and when you hear something you need to 
be able to jump on it instantly. Get him before he's spotted and the 
pileup builds up. That's where the no-warmup, no-tuning KPA500 helps.

Once the pileup is going, you need to find the stations the DX is 
working and figure out the operator's pattern. That's where the 
subreceiver and the P3 are useful.
