I will add, that the KX3 is a really good value for a $1600 (kit) radio. (Filter, tuner, battery, Key & Mic included, but no 2M option.) But going to 100W does drive up the price quite a bit. 73 Bill AE6JV On 2/10/16 at 9:50 AM, j...@audiosystemsgroup.com (Jim Brown) wrote: My advice is that

Icom is about to release their IC-7300 with rx from .03 to 74.8 mHz, with a live display, auto tuner, 100 Watts, 15 included bandpass filters, and a direct sampling receiver. All this for under $1500 street. I wonder how it will compare to the K3 in performance. I am not looking to get an

I've been closely following the IC-7300 news because I'm a big fan of direct sampling receivers. It's still too early to tell how well Icom will pull it off. I really don't see it as being K3s competition, a more apt comparison being TS-590 and FT-1200. Icom has been quite clear that this will
