As a result of all of you helping me better understand the K3 here is
what I have come up with as a buy list for a K3 purchase.
I wonder if anyone would not mind looking it over, with an eye towards

input. If you ever
There have been many suggestions to this so far and all good
depending on your interests. For me, I am mostly a CW op and decided
to select filters for that purpose. I also knew I wanted a RX antenna
