Jim,
What do you want to know? Whether anyone who has owned a Pro3 has replaced
it with a K3? The answer to that is yes - hundreds of us - perhaps more.
Your description of the K3 as relatively high-end is not quite right, as
the K3 instead defines high end and sets the bar pretty high.

Hi Jim,
Several years ago when I got my K3 (See
http://wilcoxengineering.com/amateur-radio/elecraft-k3 ),
I had the Icom 746-Pro. Not quite what you have now, but it didn't take
me long to sell the Icom.
The Icom is a nice rig, but as the other responses indicate, the K3 is
far better. I like
I never owned a Pro III, but elecrafts did _prevent_ me from buying one, I'll
say that. Actually, it was my K2 that turned me away from it because even
the K2 outperforms the Pro III RX by a bit and especially in close-in
rejection/desense performance. True I had to build the K2 and it lacks the
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
After evaluating my K3 (S/N 56) I sold an FT-1000D,

Hi,
I had an IC 7700 and bought my first K3. After using both alternately for
weeks, I sold the IC 7700. Then I thought maybe I should have kept the 7700
and bought another since I like to have two radios set up a bit differently
and also to use as a back-up. Went through the same process of
I always enjoy the Reflector coments, educational and occasionally funny. I
own the K-2, K-3 and PRO 111. This site is great PR for Elecraft, but we
should remember that their expensive wattmeter is inaccurate to the extreme
although pretty, and the P3 (in my opinion anyway) appears to be pure

Whilst I find your comments on the PROIII are correct in that it is an
intuitive radio to use I am surprised at your level of enthusiasm.
Recently we had a field day in VK and a good friend of mine who owns a
PROIII and has always liked it after he used both of mine in the shack many
times
I love you Elecraft folks! I will buy one of your wife's cases one of these
days soon.
Take care Mr Mrs Kopp es vy 73, terry ku5q

Yeah, it's a little embarrassing how much $ you have to spend to even
achieve the performance level of the K2... much less the K3
Tho the ergonomics of the K3 are a problem for many OM's too and I can

OK folks - I've gotten some very good information. Someone had asked what
information I was looking for. Kinda thought I had made that fairly clear -
but I was simply interested to know how convertees liked their K3 compared
to the Pro III. Lots of replies, and not one person said that it was a
