[Elecraft] that Drake or Collins "sound"

[Brett gazdzinski]

Great news to me also.
I am used to using the old gear, and all the new stuff I have
ever used sounds noisy and harsh, the newer it is, the worse
it gets.

Not sure if it's the multi conversions or the cheap audio amps, but
all the newer stuff was very noisy.
Even the R390a had way more noise then many other radios.

The K2 is fairly quiet, but it's a CW/SSB rig and the audio is restricted
I suspect..

Sounds like the K3 is going to be fantastic.

Thanks for the detailed review.

Well, I suppose its not long now!
