[Elecraft] The K3 in comprison to the Big Guns

[Darwin, Keith]

For me the cars analogy doesn't do it.  I have a Honda and it is not a
rig with a lot of "fluff".

I think about in terms of car stereos.  Kenwood makes car stereo
systems.  Lots of flash & buttons and whiz bang features.  Oh yea, it
produces sound too but that isn't really the thing they focus on.

I see the Ikensu rigs coming out of the same mindset.  Micro knobs,
fancy displays, lots of add-ons, lacking is core performance.  They are
the radio equivalent of Junk Food - all flash, no substance.  Well,
maybe that's an over statement, but you get the idea.

Japanese rigs remind me of Japanese cars.  Well built products with a
lot of fluff type features and gizmos that don't contribute to the
actual performance of the car.
