Well, I dunno.* *I have a K1, a KX1, a K2 and a K3, so there must be some reason.
In the case of the K3 it's easy to explain. Although I'm sort of a casual operator, my main interest when I do operate is DX. I had an FT1000MP MKV, which was the DX radio of its day, but I got it into my head that new technology would do better against the miserable RF noise that often plagues the bands hereabouts. The K3 was the obvious choice, since it was the only radio made that promised to be superior to the MKV. This did indeed prove to be the case. It outperforms the MKV in several ways: better DSP, much better auto-tuner, better keyer, diversity reception. Maybe now the FT5000 is up there at the top of the heap along with the K3, but it sorta offends my esthetic sensibility to have a radio the size and weight of a Volkswagen -- so the K3 is still the only choice.
