Allen, you misunderstood me. I have no problem with using owning K3 - it the best radio I around, no matter which day you ask it. My problem is with K3 in its "kit" form. I don't have a problem buying it as an assembled radio. But I have a problem with buying it as a kit and then claiming that "I built it". All this "kit" form does is saving some money. It does not make me proud of achieving anything - that's what I was griping about. I don't mind bying K3. I don't like "building" it, that's all
Actually, I think I should apologize to everybody - the subject of my original post was probably misleading. The better way to phrase it would be "why I won't purchase K3 KIT".
