Looks like im just going to continue on using my FTDX-101 and Elecraft K3. Now if i could find a reasonable legal limit Amplifier.

What about Icom and Kenwood? Do they offer non-SDR radios?

So I've had my Yaesu FTDX-101MP for a couple of years. But I still revert to my barebones Elecraft K3. I didn't notice this i watched DX Commander's video about "Why i dont want an SDR radio". So what nonSDR radios are still available?

I have since moved to a different Qth but same 80m dipole fed with 100' of 600ohm. Ending up with a 1:1 balun outside at the end of 600 ohms. But now I can't tune 10m. I could NOT tune it previously on 10m.

Well finally got my K3 repaired by Alan Wilcox. Nice to have this rig again. Also have spent some time using the FTDX101. Talk about a mess, not as simple at K3. But i still operate the FTDX101 as my primary rig. Now i just need more antennas other than this 80m dipole

I am looking at this Hexbeam again. After moving to a new QTH the 80m dipole just is not enough to fill my needs.

Its not just Backed With A Lifetime Guarantee unlike others I've rebuild many times over the years.

Did you just peel the chrome finish off? I would love to remove the chrome on my grill also.

I want to make a better 450 ohm feed line. The commercially available 450 ohm from DXE and the likes doesn't last long. from constant abrasion with oak and pine trees. Or getting work harden by the constant swaying by the wind. I came along this formula in a vid. But im very bad at math and...

Well im awaiting my next HF rig. Yaesu FTDX 101MP. Found one hella of a deal on one. When i receive it, I will send off my K3 to Alan Wilcox to have it reviewed and evaluated. If repairable K3 will become my portable/backup. I may put my KX3 for sale soon after.

:( thinking it was going to be a mobile car audio thread... haha
