Thanks for ur advice which I already took. I got a FT-9000d which has so many knobs and
switches that it may set the all time record. For operating ease, the Yaesu is far superior and already contains most of the features on the Elecrafters wish lists. I just wanted to give the K3 a thorough chance to show its stuff and was frustrated at the difficulty of operation. I was also able to switch the same antenna between the 9000d and the K3. In all cases the performance on 80 and 160 was the same with noise and vy weak sigs. Considering the vast price difference, that makes the K3 the bargain of the decade, even if u add the cost of a computer to control it. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 20:48:18 -0700 > To: [email protected] > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Elecraft] RE: K3 is really a computer radio > >>Oh, for band stacking registers and band buttons. > > My advice: > Buy a different radio. > Elecraft can't please EVERYONE! > > VE7XF > > _______________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Post to: [email protected] > You must be a subscriber to post to the list. > Subscriber Info (Addr.
