Hey, Dave, thanks for bringing up the Elecraft K3 (I'm sure my wife
will thank you as well ;-) I just read the Receiver Topics section of
the page, and I can hardly believe my eyes. It looks like a RX dream
come true, even the XMTR notwithstanding.

I just have two questions - As I understand it, once in awhile it is
desirable to download improved software and programming from
Elecraft. Does this radio need to be always connected to a PC
otherwise, or is it perfectly fucntional as a stand-alone unit?

And, as configured in basic format, will it receive and properly
filter AM, or is that an add-on?

Save your money. Buy yourself a nice used Drake receiver.

Your wife may still love you.

OK. Why?

I'm searching for the right words. Perhaps D. Peter might help.

LOL!.

Brother, if I could explain women......

I think I'm beginning to figure myself out!

At one period in my life, I was used to telling someone to do something, and I
expected it to be done. No explanations needed.

At one time if I said 'go dig a hole over there', I didn't expect to deliver a long
winded explanation of why I wanted the hole dug.

That has followed me through the rest of my life.
