Hi. I am new to the group. I just ordered a K3 last night. I wonder how long I will have to wait for it. I currently run an Orion II, so I will be interested in comparing. I have been considering an IC-7700, but the more I read about the K3, the more interested I got. The QST review pushed me over the edge! Being a CW operator, I think "its all in the receiver".
