OK Robert - let me be truly heretical. I have K3 #4275, and do 99
percent of my operating in assisted CW contests and CWTs. I use N1MM
Logger's Spectrum Display Window, and for my kind of operating I find it
superior to either the P3 or the K4's spectrum display. Why? Because of
the integration with logging and particularly display of spots right on
top of the spectrum. In addition to the straightforward display of
signals across the band, the Spectrum Display shows me the callsigns of
spotted stations superimposed on the spectrum, as well as the callsigns
of stations that would be dupes. It makes it VERY easy to find a run
frequency, and to see when someone moves in on top of you whether you
can move aside just a speck and continue running.
Until someone shows me another good reason, I'm staying with my K3.
73, Pete N4ZR

I've been periodically wondering why there seems to be so few posting
to the list. I then remind myself that I have a message filter
directing all K4 messages to a separate bin. Looking there I note that
there is a great deal of activity/postings. I conclude that the most
active list members are interested in the K4 or have either bought one
or are getting ready to do so. That said, I have to believe that the
installed base of K3's and K3s's is quite large and will remain so. As
one of these [K3s #11832] I hope that we won't be left in the dust as
the K4 charges by. While fully recognizing the superiority of the K4,
my circumstances don't include a new radio; also, I'm still learning
how to maximize utilization of the K3s in front of me. Perhaps it's
analogous to the relationship between brand new Porsche 911's and
911's from previous years: the older ones still pack a punch that most
drivers can hardly access. All such matters aside, I'm happy for
Elecraft's success and hope and trust that it continues into the future.
