Its very configurable. So it depends how you want to config it.. I think I am about 3400$ into it..

k3 100watt kit is 2k
p3 panadater is like 700
w2 watt meter is like 229
the antenna tuner was 299
general coverage RX module 150
IF out was 120

The receiver is supposed to be best one available right now.. Also sprung for a new mic..

As for how hard to assemble I don't think to hard.. No soldering. But you have to snap the boards together and stuff.. The instructions are on the website you can see exactly what it takes.
The more I learn, the less I know.

Completely off topic but what kinda horses you in to? I like the saddle breds! Just got back into it after a long time without riding. Bought a quarter horse my wife fell in love with so I gave it to her. I'm currently retraining a 9yo saddle bred who is a bit of a nuckle head for myself. Good rider though and fastest saddle bred I ever rode. Sorry for going off topic...

If I had an ice pick, I'd stab my minds eye out.

If things work out and I am able to get the weed management contracts and I get enough goats to do it, I will be required to have a herder out with them. This is to insure that they are where they are supposed to be in order to eat the most weeds. Another reason is to help protect them from predators. Wolves are spreading out allover up here. I have been wanting a sheepwagon for a guest house anyway. This will give me a good excuse to buy one. They have a small castiron stove and a bed in them as well as lots of storage. Until I get a sheepwagon though, I will have to make do with a canvas wall tent.

Clyde, we raise working cowhorse bred quarter horses. We also have a couple of race bred thoroughbreds. We are hoping to be able to run a colt on the track in a couple of years, but that is a spendy deal. We probably wont be able to do it, but its fun to think about. If we gave up all of our other interests we could maybe swing it, but ranching just doesnt offer a steady and dependable enough income to throw away on racing horses.

When do I start??!!  I'm retired.  I'm a hermit by choice.  I ride.  I have 25 years experience training and working Border Collies for herding competitions.  I have herded goats but most of the time it was Barbados and Katahdin sheep.  And God knows, I work cheap!

I almost tried for a contract with the city of Vail Colorado a few years back.

All seriousness aside...  You make me wish I was just a little younger and a lot closer.. :D

HS,
I really could use your help. We have two border collie pups that we raised. The bitch and sire are both out of good lines. We had to put the bitch down though. Long story. Anyhow, the pups were born the day after Thanksgiving and we have got rid of all but two. I was only going to keep one, but the Hostile Native decided that sense I have bad luck with borders, I better hedge my bets and keep two. I've tried older dogs, but my personality doesnt mesh too well with borders and it worked out to where we got a bred bitch, so we are trying this route. I'm loud and boisterous and the borders I've had in the past were always on the shy or timid side. I always had good luck with heelers and head dogs. Border collies are more laid back than I am used too.

Why dont you come out this summer and you can hang out here at the ranch. The Natives uncle still trains BC's for competition, but he is too old to come up and stay and he lives too far away. As of right now I have the largets bunch of angora goats in Wyoming, but I dont have many. I am trying to get the cash together to get a bunch more bought. Im planning on going to OK and Tx to visit family this spring and I want to stop by and pick up some better seedstock to start improving my herd and the fleece quality. Also, there is another guy I deal with who will sell me the majority of his herd and if all goes well, I will be buying them. My goal is to be the largest angora breeder in the NW US. I'm pretty close now. Maybe a couple of people in front of me. If all goes well, I will get the contracts and will be able to justify a sheepwagon. That will look cool, a sheepwagon with a bog antenna and a solar panel.

Wow, we got way off topic. LOL. All of this though, is one of the reasons that I wanted to get into HAM radio.

Tex

p.s.
I was serious about coming out if you want. We are kinda hermits too. The closest town is 11 miles away, but it is small, small. The next closest town with any size is 25 miles away. Lots of wide open country.
