Sorry for the misspelling in the original message. It should have started "A fellow". He told me that a "Big Gun" would never buy a K3. #1 due to not having 200w, #2 due to ergonomics. He basically said that people that buy a K3 don't use it enough to not see the inherent flaws in the layout, size etc. of the K3. He felt the 1000d was much better. I don't own my 1000d or MkII anymore. I did buy the K3's with some reservation as far as it being more like my 751a as far as bandswitching etc. But after using the K3 for over a year I have found very few things to complain about. My Ft-2000 sure was prettier though. Anyway I thought after being on this reflector for a long time now that most people here were obviously pretty sharp, and use there rigs quite a bit. I am not a contestor but I would guess those that are have the basic requirements of a station with the antenna being the number one concern, if not determination.. I've always found that the antenna was the most critical part of my station. Then the transceiver as far dynamic range etc. Then power output, in that order. What does everyone else think? I know looks to a lot of people are #1, but I'm sure that the station I am trying to contact really doesn't care.
