Yeah, the 7610 surely resembles the K4. But how different can you make a rig
with 2 vfo's and touch screen very much different looking. Take the top and
bottomcovers off each rig and see what's inside and hook each up to an antenna
and see how they perform in contest condx copying some weeny teeny signal.
There is a reason the 7610 is different than a K4 and it's not only the price.
But the 7610 is a decent radio too. It all depends on what you want sitting on
your shackdesk.
Whatever tames your pileups. The K3 is one of the best radios I have used and
am glad I decided to buy it in 2009. I've listened to a lot of radios since
1963.

No, you didn’t miss anything.
No one “said” I should do anything.
However, it’s obvious to me that the K4 is basically an IC7610 on muscle
building steroids and probably has an infusion of alien technology (new stuff,
not the old 1947 Roswell cache).
There are features and performance that far exceed the Icom’s capabilities.
Even though, on the surface, they “look” somewhat alike.
My question (only to myself, but rhetorically stated) is should I make the
switch?

I have not read EVERYTHING in this thread... but I sure don’t recall anyone
saying you should get rid of your IC-7610.
Maybe I missed something.
