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?

Cause DxAce is a Drake fanboi?

The only thing Drake ever made I really want, or want to keep is the
R7A.

You can get an R7 and turn it into an R7A rather quickly! They are essentially
one and the same.

One of these days I'll find one at the same time I have some spare cash.
I always find one when I'm a couple hundred short. Or, if I have a big
wad of cash, it's not worth half what a decent one goes for.
