[EIDXA] K-3 Discussion on EIDXA

[Jim Spencer]

It is always good to see some discussion on our favorite radios and which might be the best.  I know that I sure got a lot of input, some unsolicited, about my choice of a FT-2000 back in the olden times when I made a selection.  Of course, the FT-990, the FT-5000 and even the K-3 were unavailable at that time.  The IC-7800 was King in view of many, but certainly not all.  And, it was setting new price points for a top of the line radio.  That caused me to ask myself how good or radio do you need to listen to power line noise!

Back to the K-3.  Is anyone on one of the K-3 List Servers?  Perhaps someone could take a look and see what others are saying about the K-3.  I’m told on good authority that there IS a problem in the multi environment as Glenn mentioned and that Elecraft is aware of it and working on a fix.  I don’t think this is a secret and I would guess there would be a lot of discussion within the highly technical K-3 fan-base.  If someone can find any info, please share it with our group.  We have a number of wildly enthusiastic K-3 owners and others thinking of buying one.  Most, no doubt, will not be used in the multi environment so this is just a curiosity for them.
