Dear OMs and YLs,
I think Bob says it well. How can you compare a fine radio like the
7300 with a loaded K3.
How do we KNOW that it's a "fine radio?" I haven't seen a review by ARRL
or RSGB. We have only Rob's measurements of the RECEIVER.
They are not the same yet the 7300 will probably
work most of the DX that the K3 will for less money. A Cadillac is no
more functional than a Chevy. They both go from A to B. Okay, I would
prefer a Porsche but it does the same thing but in a more stylish and
exciting manner. Your pocketbook decides.
Yep.
A good few hams have both Flex and Elecraft radios - we are fortunate
to see these newer USA companies providing such good products. For now I
am an Elecraft man and suspect this will be the case till the pine box but
different strokes for different folks. A TS930 will still do a good job
on HF CW. Let us not seriously compare an entry level radio with the K3
and at the same time do not let the previous KX3 and K3 Sherwood ratings
lead one to believe that the KX3 is a better radio than the K3. One needs
to consider the whole package and yes Elecraft provides the magic of
allowing access to the principle design engineers.
Well said, Doug.
