Good idea Jim, but that's already part of the plan.
After 2 moves across the big pond in just 5 years, I don't have enough
residual unneeded toys to pay for that.
Take a look at my two pictures, before and after the move:
Before:
http://www.dj0ip.de/my-station/munich-2006/
plus a lot more gear not showing.
The big amplifier (bottom left) was just one of 3; I had end one of those
plus a Centaur.
After:
http://www.dj0ip.de/my-station/current-2014/
plus a couple of things not showing.
But that just gave me a better idea.
"I can sell the XYL."
In fact all I have to do is give her away for free and then I will have
enough money for a KX3 + amp.

Have you not considered selling some of your older and outdated toys? I did
that and ended up with enough to buy a KX3, KXPA100, and a few accessories.
