Those Elecraft guys are going to keep on, and I'll just have to have one of those neat little KX3 rigs. I held a prototype in my hand last summer. For the really old buzzards among us, it reminded me somewhat of the old Heath Kit phone patch, but just a little larger. To paraphrase an old automobile commercial, "This is not your Elmer's HF rig." There will be a bunch of radio in that little box. I may just settle for one of those, mainly to have a battery powered back up rig, but I've still got my wishes on a K3. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
