I have had both the IC-7300 and the K3S here in the shack as well as the TS-590SG. The IC-7300 has it's little nice features but I didnt find it better than the TS-590SG for rag chewing and general use. I have an IC-7600 and I found that the IC-7300 didnt really have as good sounding a receiver. For my $$$ I would purchase the Kenwood TS-590SG for a backup to my K3S if I didnt already have an IC-7600.
Just my opinion, YMMV. 73, John WB4YAL *Many of life's problems can be solved by simply deciding what we can do without. -John Dolan * On Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 12:39 PM, Bill <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been thinking of purchasing a 7300 as a backup to my K3 > (non-updated) and am wondering if anyone has done a real side-by-side > comparison of the two radios?? > > Of course I could purchase a new K3S and keep the K3 as the backup. > However, for my daily use of ham radio, I am not sure that would be the > best approach for me. > > I normally only operate on 40 and 75 meters on nets and rag chew.
