[Elecraft] K3 competition from Icom 7700? yes

[Bill NY9H]

Of course it is competition ( IC 7700 ), as some will buy it rather 
than the K3.

It is however an apples and oranges comparison...

The 7700 has "dual watch" which is just like the 756PIII, much better 
than no second receiver....but far far from a full second 
receiver....( it can't split the main & dual watch
audio, just vary the audio level between the two).... still need the 
7800 for 2 receivers.

The Pro3 is a great piece of product extremely well executed.
The Pro3  scope I prefer to the scope on the 7800.....maybe the 7700 
is different.

I use a "scope" on the K3 now.... LP-PAN &/or  SDR-IQ.... works great.

As far a performance parameters...you can read,
