Hi,
I could not agree more!!!
I follow the development of the K3 with great interest and eagerly would
like to read some comments on its performance before I decide to get one.
As a keen contester I worked with a FT2000 in the IARU world championship,
40m CW, too many buttons, settings and my K2 receiver is so much better.
The last CQWW contest I used my K2 on 40m (SSB) in a multi-multi station
(OT5A).
During the preaparation I received a lot of comments on my choice of
transceiver like: what are you going to use? a K2? That litlle box? We are
all used to the FT1000/2000. and more of that stuff.
After a short demonstration they ALL agreed that the K2 has a superb, quiet
receiver and excellent filters.
This was confirmed by all the operators after the CQWW contest.
Performance wise this rig competes with top class transceivers.
So I just wait to see an rig comparison with the K3.

Greetings Elecrafters
I just have to comment about the impatience being shown by those
waiting to receive their K3s.
Please be patient, after all we don't want Eric and Wayne to expire
with early heart attacks! do we?
I'm really enjoying using my K2/100 these days into a simple low
doublet, this radio never fails to amaze me
and I've used an ORION II, PRO III and an FT2000
the only good thing I can say about the FT2000 is the excellent
netting facilities for cw.
I've got to admit that I don't have much impatience but will probably
order a basic K2/10 in about 6 months
what's the hurry?
