Well... I pretty much figure it this way, I had to wait past the first announcements of the K3, ... after analyzing things a bit... and taking aim at the goal... figured that I might be able to liquidate enough to make a K3... but wait.. if it is really underpriced... and it is... then who is really taking a hit here...??? Then, just about the time I realized that... the "oh my the sky is falling" economic cries became very audible.... even without filters... or dsp... in the mean time... a K2 found a home... which only proves that a good rx is exactly what I need... to go alongside a slightly modified IC761 but also with a R4C with the Sherwood mods... then Mr. Sherwood did make measurement sights... and oh my oh dear.. the price of the sought after K3.. is going up... and just maybe.... just maybe by a tiny little bit... the folks that really deserve not to take a hit, by a bunch... will not have to take as much a hit when I order mine.... soon. So.. to sum it all up... the price increase is not even noticable, when you run the rig through its paces... and pop through pileups,..... call the dx station before all the others call... continue to keep a run going in the contest, even tho there are challangers on both sides... and... and keep the enjoyable radio experience alive and well, as you take a deep, full sigh of satisfaction.... after a radio session, as you shut the switches off, and watch as the light fades away...from the leds.. *I know.. that doesn't take long*....... just about as long as it takes to have the desire to get back on again... with your very own K3.
