Hi Guys, The wonderful fact is that there are a great deal of people who love the K-3's performance... excellent job Elecraft! Another fact is that many people like small radios and many people prefer or even need a larger radio. My personal preference would be to have the option of the incredible small and lightweight K-3 for mobile/portable use and then a larger K-4? for base operation... similiar electronics and performance of the K-3 but in a larger package with more front panel controls, more spacing between controls, large and bright front panel labeling of controls, individual band switch buttons, weighted smooth wheeling main tuning knob, larger s-meter/power meter, and built-in power supply. I like the LED s-meter/power meter over analog meters as for the LED's are easier to read but larger would be helpful. Another fact is that some of us are getting older... as I get older it's getting harder to operate small radios effectively in the heat of battle. Nothing more fun than a good CW contest! (sex is great but doesn't last as long for me!) Just my 2 cents worth. I would be a buyer for the larger K-3. Best 73, Dick- K9OM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
