considered buying a K3 and even went to the Elecraft web site to order it.

A lot of reasons, not the least of which is that I built my K2. I only
assembled my K3. It isn't the same. There's a bond with a radio that you
built yourself that doesn't exist if you only bought it.
Then the K3 does modes like AM, FM and
K3: Better performance, more features. Good base-station radio.
K2: Smaller. lighter, built-in battery. Good QRP portable radio.

Wow, that's the first time I've done that to my own call sign. Thanks for the
input Jack. A K3 just may be in my future yet.

The K3 sucks because, it creates such a dilemma for me. Should I buy one,
should I not and so on. Those guys at Elecraft are pretty good at dangling
the carrot. ;-)

Gary,
I have both also and pretty much agree with what has been said. The
only thing I can add is that the K2 has been capped and you can't expect
much if anything in the way of new features from Elecraft while the K3
is under active development and there seems to be something new every

Hi
Ted;
I don't think that the K2 has been capped is all that accurate. The
developer for the radio is awfully busy doing other things, but he has
assured us the dream is still very much alive and the ideas are there!

On 10/15/2009, Wayne Burdick had this exchange on this reflector under

I have both K2 and K3. Although the K3 is my main station i am not
considering to sell my K2 at all. Like Julian said, it is a home build rig
and I am proud to have it. I once had a HW8 and sold it. Now feel sorry for
doing so. I think when i should sell my K2 i will regret it in the near

I built a K2/100 with every option except DSP and loved it. I planned to
keep next to my K3 forever but I found that I was using the K2 less and less
and favoring the K3 so I finally sold it. Wasn't easy as I had put so much
into building it and the K2 is a great rig but it just didn't make
Much the same experience here. As much as I loved the K2 it hardly got
used. Tough decision but I sold it and it's enjoying a new life in VK land
(I'm rather envious in fact!).

I have a K2/100 and 2 K3s. They each have their place. I think it's a mistake
to compare the two different radios because they were obviously intended for
very different purposes. If I wanted a very portable CW rig which still offers
me up to 100 W when needed and which also has some SSB
My two cents to this endless topic.
I am one of the many owners of both the K3 and the K2 and when I got recently
my K2 which is fully loaded with every single board Elecraft designed and
built,I had them both side by side for a month testing them day and night using
always same antennas
