Let me start off by stating that I'm not looking for a spec by spec comparison of these two radios. The jury is already in on that. I hope I can just keep a few shots from firing by saying that first. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has both the Omni VII and a K3. I'd like to know from

I just bought a pair on ebay for $79.00 shipped free. I believe this seller has one pair left. They were listed at $89.99/Best Offer, with free shipping. I offered $75 and he countered with $79. It was a done deal. You can search on seller audio-topia. The link:

My K3 keys my Alpha 76A just fine. (Non-QSK) I just ran a RCA plug jump from Key Out to the amp. No problems. The Key Out is spec'd at +200VDC @ 5A. I guess someone was thinking about folks with older amps. :-) I don't use ALC so it's not an issue. 73, Dave N8AG

It would appear that Elecraft is ahead of their posted shipping schedule. Two posts on here indicate that K3s ordered on the 28th and 30th of August are on the way. The Shipping Status on the Elecraft website says that through today, 3/14/08, they would be shipping orders received up until August

All of this whining about what Elecraft should do is getting old. I think they keep folks much better informed than any other ham radio company. I don't see where folks get off thinking that Elecraft is obligated to tell them any and all things that are going on. If there's something that Wayne

It seems like most of those calling for a list of issues and enhancements are ones who have already received their K3. First, they whined about the delayed shipping, and now, once they have their K3, have found something else to whine about. Maybe they should consider investing the time spent

I guess this is a tool for those who either only had to pass a 5 wpm CW test or none at all. Now they can QRM the low end CW portions of the bands by pushing a button and letting their radio send 599 or some other programmed response that they couldn't do with a key. It's rather sad. 73 es gud
