Several years ago I found, the hard way, that the absolutely best 
radio/amplifier/antenna/qth was the one that whoever I was talking to owned 
was the best.  Didn't matter that the receiver was deaf, the amplifier was 
dirty, the antenna was a dummy load, or the qth was down a mine shaft, it 
was still the best.

My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts.

NOTICE:  When I am dealing with facts, especially about electronics matters, 
I report my personal observations and findings as they are, lacking sugar 
coating. However, for the more delicate readers, please consider the 
following Dear sweet lovable and smart ham friends, it has been my 
observation that my Alpha 87a (insert K3, if you want to) exhibits design 
and mfg flaws that are tiny in comparison to its overall magnificent being. 
I am absolutely positive that this one problem only exists in my humble and 
poorly operated shack due to my neglectful use of it and misinformation due 
to all of my many mistakes.  I deeply regret reporting this tiny flaw, 
really a feature (not a bug), of a radio I am positive has performed 
flawlessly for all of the other owners of it, and I profoundly respect and 
admire all of you who have had the wisdom to purchase such a superior rig 
and to have run it in exactingly correct ways, thus having no problems as I 
describe for only my own miserable self.  I
  fully know that if you have had no problems such as I describe, the fault 
must lie with me because it is impossible for you to own any product that 
could in any way have the "features" as I have so impertinently described. I 
humbly apologize to any and all lovers of their rigs as to any and all of my 
misappropriations to their beloved objects. Respectfully, I sign,
