[Elecraft] K3 and Icom 7700

[Jim]

I read them. Over the past several years agreed with some, disagreed with
some when owning the rig reviewed. Never pay much attention when the call
isn't given, some write great reviews when selling a rig, some won't write a
bad review especially when paying out a sizeable amount of money for a new
rig. Several years ago (over 20) a newsletter publisher highly regarded by
many really talked up a new Kenwood rig. I bought one and I quickly noticed
it was one of the noisiest rigs I ever owned, drifted, and was very non
selective. I could hear stations several KC's up or down the band. I quickly
dumped it. Not to say all Kenwoods are bad rigs. 

Always be very cautious if it's touted as the best thing since sliced bread
but still have an open mind.  

By the way, I own Icoms and also have the K-3. I like my K-3. Just a couple
of items I would like to see I understand are being worked on for future
firmware updates. I think we are close.

Oh! And I have been looking at the 7700 also.
