The electrical specs of this radio may not be as "good" as the K3 or other
radios for that matter but, you can't ignore the construction of this radio.
It looks like it is using mil-spec construction techniques, which isn't cheap
to implement.
If the Elecraft radios had an option to purchase thicker aluminum panels, which
shouldn't be a real expensive option, it would give it the feel of something
that will be a $4k+ radio (with options). Although we may not like the Asian
brands, it's pretty tough to ignore what a sub $1k radio gives you in terms of
mechanical construction techniques.
