Others can argue the tech. advantages pro or con. Some feel they need 2 KW. I don't.. For a DXer antennas & skill are more important than a few more watts. I like the way it works with my K3. I've had less than stellar dealings with the Asian companies. Whether it's bias on my part or not I like the idea that it's made & serviced in my home country.
On a more human note. I grew up as a new ham in 1959 at 13 yr.s old. I had the thrill of at least once having used the dream lines of the time. The Collins & Drake lines. I wasn't in the position to own one. I am now & I see the K line as the dream line. I now have a dream line. There ain't no way on Gods Green Earth I'm not going to live my dream. Soap Box over.
