[Elecraft] WA3WSJ: K3 vs Yaesu FT-450AT

[Edward R. Breneiser]

I sold my K1, K2 and TS-570D to buy an Elecraft K3, but it looks like I
won't have one in the near future? I haven't looked at the Elecraft Site
for some time now, but it looks like they are having problems producing
the K3 in a timely manner. 

I only have my KX1 left to play outside qrp, but I do need a full
portable HF rig too. How does the Yaesu FT-450AT compare to the K3?

Also, can the K3 operate with a SCS Pactor Modem for HF WL2K?
