Have you read the reviews at eHam, Dave? They
seems to represent a broad spectrum of users.
I upgraded (from a K2/100) to K3/P3 a month ago or
so and really enjoy it. But I don't have your
local situation. My one active nearby ham uses a
K3/P3/KPA500/KAT500 -- and I've now upgraded to
match him :-)

Hi,
Can anyone point me at some resources to better understand why I want a
K3, as opposed to keeping my Icom 756 Pro III? I am considering the
purchase of a K3/100, I saw a presentation on it at our club meeting,
liked what I saw very much and would like to get more input from people
actually using the rig.
I am doing the due diligence part of a new rig purchase here, and am
looking for just about any input regarding the K3.
So far I have spent a number of hours looking at everything on the net I
can find for the rig.
What initially caught my eye is the blocking specs... Something like
140 db! I have 4 active hams living within 1/2 mile of me, and while
the Pro III works well, I can tell from de-sense that others are on when
one of them operates. The band scope of the PRO III will show an
increased base line across the entire scope... All 4 run a KW.
The blocking specs alone may be enough to force the switch, but, I am
wondering if anyone has gotten a K3 running with MixW, how easy is it to
point and click tune the rig via a PC interface, etc., do you like the
rig, etc. If you have used a 756 PRO III, and switched to the K3, I
would be very interested in contacting you via phone to discuss your
thoughts on the K3.
