[Elecraft] The K3 in comparison to the Big Guns [OT]

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

IMO one area where the IC-7700 and co. win out is in ergonomics, especially 
for those of us who are members of the Terminally Bewildered club (tired 
eyes, colour blindness). Given the extra real estate this may seem like a 
daft comparison, but the FTDX-9000's tuning knob(s) and the IC-7700 / 
IC-7800 display are excellent. Having said that the K3's use of the 
available panel space is outstanding!

Is an IC-7700 worth the price of 2 x K3? Quite possibly, the first two 
shipments are sold out, from the Yahoo! list users are delighted.

Now back to the programming...
