I've always been a no-frills type when it comes to rigs, so it's hard for me to see the appeal of the fancier features of the rigs from the Big Three. So it's hard for me to come up with things they offer that Elecraft doesn't that would appeal to me to make me choose theirs rather than Elecraft.
But it strikes me as mostly creature-comforts that make the big rigs appealing rather than just good basic performance. I don't think there's a rig out there that exceeds the performance of the K3's RX period at the current time? Much less for only about 2 grand. It's probably things like computer interfaces - SDR capabilities - and support for all the various digital modes etc., that maybe Wayne and Eric might have the most concern about with the competition. As for me, even my K2 is a stunning upgrade in RX performance over everything I've tried from other manufacturers and I even built the little guy myself as my very first electronic anything kit. Wound the toroids myself too. And it still works better for me than anything else I've tried to date.... So the K3 I can only imagine what it'd be like to have a rig of that caliber. So as far as making any useful suggestions I'm unfortunately out of ideas at the moment...
