My advice...keep the ProIII & buy a K3 too...that's what I did. When the K3
first came out, there was a waiting list to get one. I'm not one to wait on
much of anything I want to buy and so I bought a ProIII instead. I love my
ProIII and decided it was probably the smart move reasoning that the K3 would
likely have several (or more) "issues" & changes as time went by. The ProIII
was fairly well refined by that point in time & it turned out that I was
correct about the K3. I may get some static for this but I think both radios
are pretty close in performance...at least as judged by my "human" ear. I
filled all the slots in the K3 with the various 8 pole Inrad filters too. I
like both radios just fine and would have very much regretted selling my
ProIII. My K3 is a mid 3K serial number which I spent about $3K on and that was
well before the price increases. The ProIII has been discontinued (obviously)
by Icom now but...back in the day...I think you got more bang for your buck w
ith the Icom. Again, my 2cents...don't sell it, you WILL regret it. Sorry
about the SUPER late reply to your original post...I get so much "stuff" in my
inbox that it's taken me this long to catch up!
