Speaking of the new FT-5000; one will have to admit that when technology improves, the FT-5000 will make a much better "boat anchor" than the K3. But today, one really great feature of the K3 is that I don't need a "block and tackle" to move it into position in the shack. Dick K8ZTT

The FT-5000 design is basically an Orion clone and will suffer the same Sub RX problems: 1. True diversity will not be possible due to slightly different frequencies between Main and Sub. 2. Strong-signal handling of the Sub will be very poor. Time will tell but that's my prediction as an ex-Orion owner for 4 years. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Thinking-return-to-K3-tp4258113p4263693.html Sent from the [K3] 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:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4749 (20100106) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4749 (20100106) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
