Hum, been doing some thinking. I may go with a K3/10 for CW and SSB desk top QRP and an Omni VII for casual ragchew. Throw the new ten-tec into the mix when it comes out.

I don't like them. They seem to be an awful waste of money.
If I had to buy a new radio now I would buy the Flex 6000 series.
Or you could get the new Ten Tec 418 linear when it comes out, which should be soon. 10 in, 100 out. And (they say) it will work on any 10 W piece of amateur gear.

Now, now. I didn't say that. Just giving you another option to consider... you could get both an Elecraft K3/10 and a Ten-Tec 539 this way, and move the 418 amp between the two of them as needed.Why, he's no fun. He fell right over!Wait a minute! Didn't I say that on the other side of the record? I'd better check...

True but I am very indecisive and I really have liked the Omni VII for a long time. xD Thus my reasoning for throwing it in the mix.

One blue, one red?
Green and gray, and I tend to agree with Ryan's comments. I just wish Elecraft would put the K3 in a bigger box.

It has to be wonderful to be married to a YL operator who wants to spend more on radio equipment, and antenna systems than you do.
