[Elecraft] K3 or SDR-5000?

[Dave Larson]

Hi Ross,

I own a SDR-1000 for just over a year now.  Last May I sold my K2 and 
ordered a yet to be delivered K3.  Until the various tests have been 
published by the ARRL and Mr. Sherwood, I would say the K3 vs. SDR-5000 are 
a close match. The K3 will cost less than the SDR-5000 when you add the cost 
of the required high powered computer to the cost of the SDR-5000. The K3 
needs no computer to operate. The SDR-1000/5000 have a panadapter display 
with the ability to tune in any signal with just a click of a mouse.  No big 
deal unless you become used to it as I have.  When software becomes 
available to mouse click tune the K3 with some sort of panadapter display, 
My SDR-1000 will be up for sale and a second K3 will be ordered.  Until 
then, I will keep it along with my yet to be delivered K3 and will use which 
ever rig is the right one for a given situation.

Dave, K8AA
