I'm so glad I didn't buy the FT2K when I was looking for something to replace my Yaesu FT-840. Before buying the K3, I based my search on the following criteria:
1. Excellent receiver 2. Great customer support and user interaction 3. Made in USA (not mandatory, but it's always nice to support your country) 4. Easy enough to move around The only product that met those requirements was the Elecraft K2 and K3. I'm happy with my purchase decision, even after 2 years of ownership. Maybe one day, when I have a proper home and room for a big box radio, the FTDX5000 will be a contender. Or who knows... maybe the K4 will be the next big thing... :) 73, James K2QI On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 5:23 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Sure would tick me off if I had recently bought an FT-2000 > > Ticks me off as an early owner of a FT-2000.
