73, Dick - KA5KKT ---------------------------------------------------------------- >Don Rasmussen wb8yqj at yahoo.com >Sun May 16 12:44:41 EDT 2010 >I think $800 more for the K3 versus comparable TS-590 may be about right, I always hate to see kit prices higher than factory assembled units but when you go head to head with the high volume producers, that's what happens. >As for the K3 front panel layout, I credit the fact that the K3 is a contest radio first and foremost to that. Operation is supposed to be PC based. >After ownning K3 from the beginning, my request would be for an "armchair" version of K3. There would be an analog S-Meter, large LED/LCD display, band buttons, mode buttons. I also -really- enjoy an analog "take-off" receiver for CW. >But the guys have based their product line around K3 and I feel strongly that anyone that buys a K3 today will have the current Elecraft transceiver for years to come. >didit. ______________________________________________________________ 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
