[Elecraft] K3 and Omni VII.

2008-03-25 Thread Dave Agsten
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

Well, you didn't say what kind of operating: rag chews during the week, contesting on 160 or during CQWW, PSK in the evening, OF net on 75m AM, etc. However, if you already have a K3 and another on order, why not just buy the VII and see for yourself. As I read it, TT has a 30 day, no questions

Hi, Dave, I have owned several Ten-Tec rigs in the past and loved them all. I still have an Argonaut V that I use for QRP. I, like you, agonized over the K3 vs. Omni VII issue. I, like you, had ordered a K3 and came close to cancelling the order a dozen times. One day it was the K3, the

[Elecraft] K3 VS. Omni VII

2007-05-15 Thread David Yarnes
I am a long time Ten Tec user interested in upgrading. I have never used a piece of Elecraft equipment but am very intrigued by the K3. Are there any Elecraft users who can give me some advice about what I may expect from the K3 vs the OMNI VII since they are both near the same price? Thanks,
