When I built my K2/100 2 years ago I spent right at $1800. This included
EVERY module made for the rig except the 60m/transverter and noise
blanker. It also included a KAT100-1

For more than twice the price, the Pro III should be a little better than a
K2. But which K2; every K2 is a little different depending on the skills of
the builder. I'll take my K2 over a PRO III, maybe even a 7800. The K3 is
still less expansive than the PRO III, too.

Another thing that should be mentioned is that the Pro 3 is four times the
cost of a K2. So, it stands to reason that it should do something a little
better than the K2, at least four times better. Does it?
If I were an owner of a high end transciever costing thousands of dollars, I
would
Four times?? A K2 with enough options to make it comparable to an
IC-756ProIII is $1861.00. The current best price on the IC-756ProIII is
2695.00 - that's not even twice, its only 30% more. Considering the the
time invested in building one - the K2 is not even close to an
economical radio.
That's true but, I wasn't considering a fully loaded K2, just the base model
which is the one that I have. I don't think any of the rigs on the market
right now are bad rigs, it just depends on what you are going to do with them.
For me, just about anything would do for the kind of operating I

The pro 3 was improved quite a bit, the noise reduction really works well,
as do the filters, its not as bothered by close in signals as the older
units,
and its got less noise, but still

Oh, I think the K2 is better than the PROII for receiver audio quality. Please
understand that I am talking about contesting for the most part...or listening
to a receiver for long periods of time. I find the K2 much easier on the ears
and brain. Same thing for the K3. The PRO II
Another thing I was surprised about was the auto notch.
It will follow a signal around and notch it out, and an ssb qso
is 100%, and does not even sound bad!
Does the K3 do that?
Yes, and so does the K2 w/KDSP2!
