Prior to the advent of , first, the K2 and then the K3
I owned my share of "huge" radios which almost required two men and a small boy to move. (well I exaggerate ) and I well remember having to hand carry a TS-930 through the length of the St. Louis airport on my way to KP4...not a lot of fun! I find the K3 pretty much the ideal size for my purposes. The front panel is not cluttered but comprehensive enough that there is little need for daily changes to menu items.

I am glad that my K3 doesn't weight in excess of 50 lbs. I have to carry it up a "ships" ladder into my shack, which is in a loft. One hand for the ladder and one for the K3. I do this several times a year to update the firmware. 73, Rick Dettinger K7MW On Jan 11, 2010, at 10:21 AM, Dick Williams wrote: > > I beg to differ with who stated that "most" hams want large radios > and find > the ergonomics and packaging of the K3 to be less than desirable. > > First, not every ham wants a "boat anchor" box that takes up half the > operating position and weights in excess of 50 lbs. > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http ://mailman. qth .net/mailman/ listinfo / elecraft Help: http ://mailman. qth .net/ mmfaq . htm Post: mailto : Elecraft @mailman. qth .net This list hosted by: http :// www . qsl .net Please help support this email list: http :// www . qsl .net/donate. html ______________________________________________________________ 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
