[Elecraft] Departing list ......

[Brett gazdzinski]

The eham reviews look quite good!
For a mobile rig it seems the trick, you could work 10 meters, 2 meters,
listen (tx?) on CB for hiway conditions, all with one remotely mounted
radio.
I cant believe it works as good as they say though, and a 150MHz 1st if???
 
Surely there is no filter at 150 MHz....
 
I hope to try the K3 mobile, and I suppose I can listen to channel 19 on CB
as well.
Any day now I suppose!

I think we have to compare an apple with an apple.  IC7000 is capable when
you see it as a mobile rig from 500k to UHF.  It can no way be compared with
a contest rig like K2 and K3.
 
When coming to IC756pro3, its DSP manual notch within AGC loop is very
useful when operating the rig under strong QRM condition.  The DSP NR is
better than KDSP2 in SSB mode.  When I operate in SSB mode, I like 756pro3
but K2 works better in CW mode where you don't even need IF shift.
 
K3 should be the all round station rig to combat against the big players.  I
am in the early batch and waiting for it now.
