oh, I totally agree - even my K2 nips at the heels of a 7700 and probably even a 7800, especially in a pileup. I just didn't want to bury Doug's point, which I think is a good one. A rig purchase is often a compromise, where it's often ok to sacrifice one feature set for another to suit one's budget or intended use of the rig. Something like the 7300 can fill a niche, as Doug describes so I think he's totally right on that point.
OTOH, it's hard not to be biased once you get your first Elecraft rig, or two... your opinions very quickly converge away from El's competitors once you start putting them on the air, etc. and those rigs become three... and then 4..... :). 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Icom-7300-is-available-tp7614790p7614834.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
