[Elecraft] TO ALL!

[Bruce McLaughlin]

Welcome to the reflector Jim.  There are a number of very knowledgeable
(unfortunately, I am not one of them) nice folks on this reflector and they
are an excellent resource, especially for a new K-3 owner.  I know I have
learned a lot by just watching the messages.  

I also own Orion II as well as a K-3.  The Orion is a good radio but as you
probably know, and it is way past due for a firmware upgrade.  That is not
the case with Elecraft.  As you will surely find out if you have not
already, firmware upgrades are very frequent for the K-3, either to fix
problems or to add new features, many of which have been requested by
owners.  And unlike the TenTec reflector, the company and its owners are
active participants and thereby have a very good idea of what is going on
with the user population.

I believe you have made an excellent choice in choosing a K-3.  As you
discover new features I think you'll be even more amazed by what it can do.
I have no ownership interest in the company but I have been so impressed
that I recently ordered a second one to keep the first one company in the
shack.  Hope to hear you on the air soon.  Best wishes for the new year and
again, welcome to the group.

Gentlemen,

I just recently bought a new "K3" and all that I've got to say about it
presently is that it's a 
FABULOUS MACHINE!!!  Eventhough for over 7yrs. I'd been an owner of the
"TenTec Orion" the K3 
definitely has the EDGE as far as overall performance is concerned.

The "learning-curve" for the K3 is substantial but the end results are well
worth the effort! So 
if I ask any "dumb-questions out here PLEASE be patient!  :-)))

Regards ALL & a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

PS,

 From the time that I ordered the K3 until I received it was ONLY 2.5
WEEKS!!!
