[Elecraft] K3 in the marketplace

[Charles Harpole]

Elecraft designers had K2-its....  thinking they were mostly evolving a 
K2.... Big mistake as I said in an earler message.... The K3 has jumped 
Elecraft into the areana of the ORION 2, FT-9000 and IC-7800 and great specs 
are great, but the human factor... so often ignored by purist engineers... 
is left out.

This means they can still be beaten in the marketplace when their specs 
indicate they should be the only hi end rig of choice.

If I can afford it, I plan to give myself an ORION 2 for Xmas, just after 
taking delivery of my K3, I hope.  I know I can sell either here in Thailand 
due to the buzz on both, so maybe eventually I will take my pick and if I 
can not hear the difference between the two (likely due to my weak abilities 
in that area), guess which will go up for sale......  73,
