[Elecraft] K2 compared to others rigs

[Jozef Hand-Boniakowski]

I used an Icom IC701 from 1978 thru 2006.  A decent radio for its time.  
I replaced it with an IC 756 PRO III (Dec 2006) and the new radio blew 
the IC701 out of the  water.  In my opinion the PRO III is a superb 
radio.  When looking for a new radio I was told to stay away from the 
Jupiter. I'm glad I did, but for the price I suspect it is OK.   I heard 
good things about the IC746, but I wanted more than just a replacement 
radio for my IC701.  I am not disappointed.  In every way, I love he PRO 
III.  It is, however, more expensive than the IC746, about twice the 
price.  Ouch.  But, I would do it again.  Good luck.  I just completed 
the Elecraft K1 and like it very much also.

I was always a Ten-Tec fan and loved my Corsair II, but wanted to try a newer design radio. Now, I'm thinking of selling or trading the Jupiter, but I wonder what's out there in the $1200 to $1500 range (new or used) that might be a step up from the Jupiter in receiver performance. Without opening up a can of worms, I'd like to hear some feedback on the IC 746 Pro, Ten-Tec Omni VI, TS-2000 or any others I may have over-looked. What else are you guys using?
