John,
Thank you for your informative e-mails. A dose of reality is no harm. I
have K3 and Orion 2 radios and like them both though the K3 is winning my
heart. The ongoing development process is fun. Keep enjoying your radios
and hope to meet you on the bands.

Subject: [Elecraft] Re： [K3] K3 VS 7600 Sherwood List
Hello Gentleman,
I fully understand that Sherwood list is of high regard among many hams.
Regrettably, I really do not experience what should be expected after studying
Sherwood list. In particular, I am referring ic7800, ic7700, ic7600 Vs K3.
All these 3 icom rigs are now in my stack and ready to do A/B comparison with
K3 at any time. I do not see any day and night difference among them even in
the recent IARU contest. Bearing in mind, Hong Kong is small and 1Kw big guns
are everywhere (even within line of sight) under contest condition.
On the other hand, there are distinct characterists between K3 and Icom rigs.
Personal preference and operation easiness would play in these areas.
I am pleased to see that Elecraft keeps on improving the firmware which should
bring more operation easiness and smoother learning curve. I would expect
further improvement in the Noise Reduction function of K3.

There are many who would disagree with this. Whatever happened to
the "pink noise" response experiment or the LPF that was being
tested a few months ago. I will agree that Elecraft have pushed the
RF boundary but to date audio hasn't been their thing and here I'm
not talking audiophile rubbish just good sound. Unfortunately that
is the interface with the human operator.
I find myself drawn more and more back to the K2 and if I was closer
to the action I might even consider parting with the K3. However,
gear that comes to out of the way locations tends to die there and
one can always live in hope.
