[Elecraft] K3 the greatest

[Greg]

I am amazed that no one mentioned Signal/One CX-7 A & B.  What a marvelous
radio that had all the bells and whistles for its time.  Imagine a nixie
tube digital read-out.fantastic speech processor ( when adjusted correctly)
and all solid state except for the final in the 70's.  73 de Greg-N4CC

It  depends on your perspective. This is my 50th ham yr. & my 2 wk.
anniverary with the K3. It's the best receiver I've used. I think as the
Mustang car changed that world the TS 520 & the FT 101 did theirs. The 1st
average guy transceivers that ran forever & were affordable. The Collins
line was great but way beyond the average hams budget. The Drake twins & TR4
were at the top of  that class too. For the roll your own guys Heath changed
everything. There are thousands of SB200s & SB220s still plowing the way
today. I think the K3 & Elecraft will be  game changers too.It's history is
to  be written yet. The test of time is the final judge.
