Hi Dave, These are my slides, used from several past hamfest presentations. I certainly wasn't trying to hide behind anything. They were made available on the web site this morning at the request of several customers.
The only reason the general price of several other radios were noted in the performance comparison table was to highlight how well the K3 receiver does in comparison, especially against the $10K plus radios. Even with the P3 panadapter, we'll be well below 1/2 of that. To be honest this is a very minor part of the slide presentation and I'll be glad to remove the price info if people wish. Except for the 7600, which has only been tested by Sherwood so far, all of the RX numbers in the table are from published ARRL reviews. Sherwood's numbers and those from the ARRL are usually in agreement within a couple of dB for these tests. 73, Eric WA6HHQ --- Dave-Boat Guy wrote: > This presentation is interesting and informative. > > Although the K3 is undoubtedly an excellent radio, why must we hide behind > the price of it by showing the cost of other radios it is being compared to? > > >From my calculations, a K3 WITHOUT a band-scope or panadapter or spectrum > >display that is built up so that it is comparable in basic features to the > >Ten Tec Orion or ICOM 7800 or Yaesu FT9000 (which has a model that is > >significantly less than $10K), is pushing $4000.
