Tom, I was in a similar situation. I had been away from ham radio for quite some time and wanted to dive back in. I, also, was looking for "my last rig".
Well, Tom, I found it! My K3 #859 is a wonderful radio! A casual operator can operate this radio right out of the box, but it is super flexible and over time you might discover features and menu options that let you feel even more at home with your K3. By the way, my K3 is my first solid state HF radio (I have a hollow state brain). So if you want a truly great radio with incredibly impressive customer service look no further than Elecraft. 73 de Dick, ka1oz Elecraft K3/100K #859 G5RV Doublet On 04/04/2013 11:54 AM, Tom Branton wrote: > Good morning everyone, > > I am looking for my forever ham rig and have a concern.
