[Elecraft] loaded K2 vs K3

[Greg]

Doug,

I've done the same comparison.  But what you have to remember is that the K2
and K3 are designed for two different purposes.  The K2 is a great portable
all-in-one self contained radio for taking out to the field.  The K3 is
designed as a top line contesting/dx rig that is portable enough for taking
on dxpeditions with much more ease than other radios.

Two different purposes, two great radios, one great company!

KDSP2	 $229
KIO2	    $ 89
Total	  $1,213

K3/10	 $1,399  (tons more features/ability than K2)

---OR----

K2	     $629   (50++ hours average 1st time build??)
