Re: [Elecraft] K3S Options - Install in what order to make it all easier?

I'd like to thank Craig, W6WL at Elecraft Support; Hank, K7HP; and Don, W3FPR for taking the time to write me with some very detailed and thoughtful responses to my questions about installing which options and in what order on a new K3S build. I now feel more confident about how I should proceed.

I certainly hope NOT! What the heck does 'touch screen' have to do with xcvr performance? Icom is not going to get off of that up conversion receiver which removes the possibility to have narrow bandwidth roofing filters. I'm sure there will be a lot of folks that will jump on to the 'touch

1. Icom did not make claims about SDR, they made claims about the direct sampling architecture. The KX3 is about as SDR as you can get. 2. The proposed rig is first from “major” amateur radio vendors. That is, not counting FlexRadio, Apache Labs, etc. 3. When are they going to fill the hole

Admittedly, I'm a serious contester. Sit in front of a radio for 24, 36, 44.5 hrs (an aging contester) and you will soon see that the bells and whistles, flashy lights, and other gizmos generally mean diddly. For me, keeping my fingers as near to the keyboard as possible is one of those little

Re: [Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

The "King of SDR" computer driven radios is coming out with a box with knobs. Perhaps lesson learned that everyone does not like those touch sensitive, menu driven, color display radios. Besides, why rely on a computer to run your transceiver when it can be done easily as a standalone device

I note that it has only one tuning knob, which in turn probably means you can't do the standard dx-split operating technique. If that's the case, then no matter what fancy gizmos it may boast, it would be of no interest to me, and some others might feel the same. Tony KT0NY

Re: [Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

Nothing. It's just that every time Elecraft adds a cool new feature, they have to find a way to get it onto a front panel button. If the buttons are drawn on the screen, they can be changed. Not saying I'm a fan, just that it's an attractive problem for some folks. Not sure how that works
