The current Sherwood Engineering receiver test data list includes all of these radios.
In the latest figures, the K3 (old synthesizer) rates above both the 7300 and TS590G. The 7300 is down 5 in the list from the K2 and the 7300 is two above the TS590G. If you just installed the upgraded synthesizer you would improve your K3 by five spots. In fact, only the full K3S and Flexradio 6700 are currently better. However, for casual rag chewing I would think any of these transceivers would be just fine. It would be a matter of personal preference. I know several people who are very happy with the TS590G. These are all quality rigs.

ARRL reviews most new rigs, but I don't see one for the 7300. http://www.arrl.org/reviews-listed-by-manufacturer For the way you operate, If I were looking for a lower cost backup for a K3, I'd look at something like the TS590SG. A friend who's a great operator owns one and likes it, and ARRL lab test data for it is quite good considering its price. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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]<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ 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]
