My K3 has replaced the following; IC7800, IC7700, IC7600, and PROIII.
Yes it was stupid for me to have all those Icoms. More money than good sense. It's the price I pay for hands on. I quit asking a long time ago for peoples opinions on what I should have. I try for myself. The only thing I don't care for on the K3 is the speaker audio for voice. Most everybody else I know does not have a problem with it. And I don't anymore since I operate 99% CW at this time. The K3 is the only HF/6m XCVR that I've never regretted getting. The build quality, the company leadership and location, the support from the company, the dynamic presence of K3 enthusiasts on the internet forums and email reflectors are things that all make something that nobody can touch right now. NOBODY!!! Even if for whatever reason you decided after purchasing and using the K3 you did not like it, you would have no trouble selling it, and would probably lose very little (if any!) of your money investment. I'll also speak from experience on this from earlier last year when I traded a used a K3 to another ham for a fully filtered Orion II/566AT which is also fine radio. I kicked myself for many months after that, and now finally have a K3/100 again. There is only one Icom HF/6m xcvr left here on the table, a second IC7700 that will probably be up for sale cheap since it gets no use these days. Sorry for the long ramble. I'll bet there are many others that feel the same way. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Replaced-Your-Pro-III-tp4957548p4959029.html Sent from the Elecraft 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
