Nothing wrong with the 7300. For less than a grand, it outperforms just about everything else ... certainly in its price class. Is it a K4? Hardly. But it is a well-designed, well-built true SDR workhorse. I've had one for 3 years and it has been flawless in performance and durability. Mine runs all day, every day - both digital and SSB. No issues. None. With the MARS mod it even covers 630 meters. It's a dream to interface with a computer, and it teams up nicely with the KPA/KAT500 combo.
It would also make a wonderful backup rig for a K series 73 Lyn, W0LEN -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nr4c Sent: Monday, June 22, 2020 5:51 PM To: Jim Borowski Cc: Elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K4 Issue Found it!
