[Elecraft] new to the List

[Don Wilhelm]

Ben,
Great that you are considering Elecraft products in your decision.
Most of us on this reflector are biased, but not unfairly so IMHO.

I will not be bold enough to just say that you should buy a K2 or K3, 
but I do not think you would be disappointed with either.

I suggest that you review all the specifications and features of each 
radio you are considering.  Think about your station operation and how 
you would use each each function in your operating.  When you obtain the 
best match to your proposed operation, then you will know which one to buy.

The K2 is only available as a kit, although there are hams who are 
willing to build it for you (see the Elecraft Builders for Hire list). 
If you consider building your own transceiver, that can be a benefit, 
but to some it is a deterrent.  The K3 is available either assembled or 
as a no-solder kit.

73,
Don W3FPR

Anways, I am writing the group because I would like to hear what peoples thoughts are of the K2/100 and the K3/100. The other two radios I am considering is the IC-746pro and the TS-2000.
