I find it a bit entertaining that the 7800, 10k$ rig, ended up next to
the 'build it yourself' K2. I was under the impression that the 6k$
7700 used the same receiver, and thus performance wise, placed it next
to the K2. Then I consider that the K2 has been around since the late
90's, and I just end up with a pretty good chuckle.
But as stated, the K2, and K3 do not compete with the fancy displays
and such. It will be interesting to see if Elecraft does a display on
their own, or if they rely on the LP-PAN.
I was chuckling at the analogies to cars earlier in one of the
threads. I didn't get the VW thing either. I could see it for the
K2. I like to think of plane's. I did not have a chance to finish my
pilot's license, but one friend that was working on his license the
same time I did, and I would chat over a beer. He always wanted to
fly fast, in something like a Lear Jet. I always wanted to fly upside
down in something like a Pitts S2A.

Or as my wife will tell you, I never was, and am never likely to be
considered 'normal'.
I do enjoy my K3 though. Think I will go see what is happening on 20m

Dave, W7AQK
you said
I haven't studied the 7700's performance
ratings, but apparently they are not nearly as good as the K3.
Where did you get this info I wonder? do you have one?
Well, we shall see when the reviews are published, apparently the RSGB
review on the 7700 is due June.
I think that the K3 will hard pressed to beat the 7700 in usability
and performance!
I've had one for several weeks now and am looking forward to the
review in a few days time.
