Hi Ben, Welcome on board! You'll certainly won't regret stepping into the K3 adventure.
After years of Japanese (and ex marine) equipment the big difference to me: -A radio made by hams for hams, you'll find this in virtually every functionality. -The most versatile and expandable radio on the market (see option list) -The best roofing/frontend/phase-noise figures a "hobby-budget" can buy. -A real "experimenters" radio from a tradition of kitbuilding.(that's what this hobby used to be all about ;-) In other words: the K3 is quite different in many ways. Being amongst a crowd of users in contact with each other and the developpers gives it an extra dimension. It's a pity you won't be assembling your K3 yourself, that really makes it "your" radio. May be you should take it apart at least once :-) 73! Paul PD0PSB Hi Group, My name is Ben. My callsign is KØBLR. I live up here in Central MN. I just decided to join here because it looks like I am about go through the process of buying a used K3/100W. From what I know about it has 2 filters in it and its only about 1 week old or so. The owner is selling it because he is not very technology inclinded as he put it if memory serves me right. Anyways, in a nutshell how has the K3 done for many of you on here. I am not very knowlegeable on radio theory but in your opinion what makes the K3 better that big 4 manufactures out there? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/New-to-the-Forum-tp3045999p3048603.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
