Nice document. But it would be interesting to augment the P3 section with a feature comparison to the Icom. IMHO, the P3/SVGA a a natural component of the K3S - not just an add-on option. Thanks! N4OI -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com

No doubt, small, single-band QRP kits are a bunch of fun. (I still think Dave Benson's Small Wonder Labs DSW-II is still one of the most innovative designs - I have two.) That said, they are no match for the K1 (or K2 now) when it comes to having a "real radio." 73 -- Sent from:
