Hey, Dave, thanks for bringing up the Elecraft K3 (I'm sure my wife

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?

Cause DxAce is a Drake fanboi?

The only thing Drake ever made I really want, or want to keep is the
R7A. The R8 and R8A, I sold pretty quickly.
