[Elecraft] K2 and K3... oh which one to pick

[Brett gazdzinski]

I think the eventual goal should be to get both.
The K3 is likely to be a far better radio than the K2,
maybe the best radio on the market, but you BUILD the K2.

Besides the fun of building, you get attached to a radio
you built.

Maybe get the K2 now and have fun building it, then get a K3
after the dust settles.
