Of course it is competition, in the popularity stakes if not in performance.
It may not have as good a receiver performance as the K3 but it looks very good, the receiver is very probably quite good enough for many people and it has a few popular features which are not yet available in the K3 - e.g. the built in spectrum scope, a USB port, more than one antenna output, control for an external ATU. Not everyone feels they need the best possible receiver performance, other issues come into the equation. If the price is good, I expect is will sell well, just like the 756 Pro III it replaces. This does not matter as Elecraft and ICOM are adressing very different markets. It is great to see the major companies producing new radios with higher performance and improved features, it would be awful if this development stopped, so we must not discourage them.
