    I agree with you. The difference I read about the two is the 257 has great AM side and the mk3 has great SSB. The boards are different but same principles. Hope your right and done right. I’ll be calling to see if they can.

It mite be overkill but at the time when it was in production Avanti claim it a unibeam for the peak sunspot cycle . Do u think it was overkill and...
