[Elecraft] why the K3 is my favorite rig

AMEN Joe!!    My thoughts exactly.  Bigger box, same RX performance, more
buttons, less menus, better band switching accommodation for non-amateur
frequencies, an internal higher voltage power supply and an output power of
200 W.  I do low power contesting and would REALLY like a rig that can loaf
along at 150 W.  I know that it is only an additional 1.5 dB or so over the
K3, but every little bit helps.  I can't really justify buying an amp to go
from 100-120 W to 150!
