[Elecraft] OMNI VII vs Elecraft K3

[Gary D Krause]

Hi Anthony,

I can't really answer your question but, I would like to tell you my 
experience so far with building a K2.  I'm still in the process of building it 
but, it is very impressive.  The quality of the construction and parts is 
outstanding.  It also has an all metal case including the face plate.  If this 
is any indication of what the K3 is like, I will be ordering one in a couple 
of months.  Hopefully the dust will have died down by then. :-)  It just feels 
solid, rugged and I know it will last a long time.  The support is also 
fantastic and they are very friendly people.

I've looked at the Omni VII myself when it was first announced and it seems 
like a great rig.  However, I didn't want to spend that kind of money.  I like 
the fact that I can add whatever I want to the K2 and K3 to fit the type of 
operating that I do.  I would have to disagree with the price being about the 
same since that will vary from individual to individual depending on their 
type of operating.  It's really nice to have this kind of flexibility.

Gary, N7HTS
