100 watts vs. 200 watts. 3 dB of gain. I think it does more for the
operators ego confidence than it does for their signal.

I believe that the 200 watt version of the FT-2000 has a class-A mode of
operation for SSB, which provides 75 watts output with much better IMD

perhaps this might be better understood
if we look at it from the idea of
we are running qrp 5w
now for some reason you want/need
to get that
Well, db = 10 * log(p2/p1)
5w to 200w is actually +16 dB
100w to 1000w is +10 dB
But hey, it's the thought that counts :-)

lots of difference between
5w to 200w = 18+db
as compared to
100w to 1000w = 9+db
hope I did the math correctly ;-/

Sometimes, that's enough.
However, there's another
There is a basic difference in the choice of IF frequencies. The Y2K
main receiver has first IF at 69.45MHz, second at 450khz, and last at
30Khz for the DSP. The Elecraft has the first IF at 8.215Mhz and the
second at 15Khz for DSP.
This choice reveals a lot. There are many more choices

The knob on the K3 is weighted and a custom design (and
very nice as is). I don't think the physical size of the
K3 could accomodate a larger knob.
...and...thanks for your great work with HRD!

Do you really think that 3dB will be enough of an advantage? That is
all you will get when
Brian has some good points. Personally, I think the jump to 400-1000
Watts from 100 is so great that you really need to think of a separate
amplifier. 100 W is clearly enough for 90% of QSOs (that I make,
anyway), and it would be a shame to compromise a good 100 W transceiver
package to
AM

Readability reciprocity is a very interesting question. Since I'm a
6M operator, things might be a little different for me than on the
HF bands, but probably not all that much.
Yeah, I was forgetting the difference in noise floor. Sorry.
