[Elecraft] Dusting off the old K3 & Considering a KAT3A

Elecraft Operators,

I have been off the HF airwaves for several years.  Those darned antenna
restrictions really take the fun out of it.  But after helping staff the
K2BSA operation at the Boy Scout National Jamboree this summer I've really
been itching to get back on the air from home.

I have to come to grips that I'll never have a nice balanced antenna and
that I'm pretty much limited to random runs of wire here and there that can
be well hidden. Right now I have a manual MFJ tuner, but I know that got
old when changing bands or moving from the CW area to phone on 40 meters.
I also have some common second story grounding issues.  I'm wondering if
the KAT3A would be a good investment for my K3 given my situation.
