[Elecraft] Yaesu FT-2000 v K-3?

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

I was also thinking about the FT-2000, having read about the problems owners 
of the expensive FTDX-9000 'flagship radio' have encountered I decided to 
avoid Yaesu at all costs. The FT-2000 has some nice visual features and a 
fine tuning dial, the receiver figures are not what one would expect 
however.

I was actually waiting for the not-yet announced (just a rumour) Kenwood HF 
radio when the K3 positing was made by Wayne on April 28th. I think the K3 
features and Elecraft support significantly surpass those offered by Yaesu.

Elecraft listen, Yaesu don't seem to.

Has anyone had a chance to compare the K3 to the Yaesu FT-2000?  They seem 
to be in the same general price range, and I'm thinking about buying one of 
them...
