[Elecraft] K3S VS: IC-7300

2018-07-04 Thread Doug Millar via Elecraft
Just to add- If you bought an IC7600, to upgrade  you would have to buy an IC7610 and take a bath on the old radio. Mfgrs. have played the game for years. Sometimes if the upgrade is significant it is worth it, like a Drake R4c to TR7.  To state the obvious, the upgrade from K3 to K3s was pretty

I think the point was that a comparison between the two isn't meaningful. I think (based on experience as an early adopter of both) that the IC-7300 is outstanding bit of kit for the money. The K3x performance is a bargain when compared to other company's top-end radios. Doug -- KJ0F On 7/

I asked a similar question awhile back. The fact that I still do not have a 7300 may indicate the results of my fact finding. My reasoning is simple: The K3 is a great radio, certainly part of the equation. The Elecraft product support is the other part of the equation. I have been there and
