Re my statement "zero info on performance": Has
anyone sorted out performance data from the charts
here:
http://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/hf/7300/default.aspx
or in the pdf file linked here:
http://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?Document=746
It's interesting to speculate where this Icom-7300
would end up on the Sherwood chart. And how would
it prevail in a strong-signal environment, like
Field Day or an urban area like the one I'm in?
Based on what I've seen it will be OK for casual
operating and SDR "dabbling", but not for serious
operators who contest, work DX or want to play at
Field Day. For those uses the K3/K3S will blow it
away.
In fact, given the KX3 SDR-based design, I wonder
how it and the Icom-7300 will stack up against one
another.
It will be interesting to see some IC-7300 numbers
-- including the price!

p.s. -- like some others out there, a touch screen
has no attraction for me. On cameras I usually
disable that feature :-)

Plus, zero info on performance!

to be available by the end of the year. A
completely software-defined radio. Looks like
a real game-changer.
While the K3S is a nice upgrade, I think the
tide is slowly shifting to touch sensitive,
menu-driven, color displays.
I certainly hope the Elecraft is looking at
this and considering its implications.
