[Elecraft] FT9000 vs the K3?

[Johnny Siu]

Hi OM,
 
First of all, you should ask this question both in FTDX9000 and K3 mail reflectors.  I believe you will get different answers.
 
For FTDX9000, you have to look for the latest version with PEP modification..  Otherwise, older version will disappoint you for sure and cannot be compared with K3 in any aspects.
 
Ok, back to your question.  K3 is excellent in its performance and specifications, good for both station and portable operation.  However, if you look for operation convenience, you may look for a bigger rig with bigger size + 200w + internal power supply unit.  This will be up to your personal preference.
 
One thing, I would like to point out that the price of a full option (adding up every bits) K3 is high end as well.  Of course, K3 will give you the full liberty to choose what options you would like.
 
If you have any question, please contact me OFF the list.

Hello!  I have a friend who is thinking about getting a rig to use at a 
portable/remote mountaintop operating location and he is considering an FT9000.

He asked me to inquire whether anyone had any first hand comparisons between
the 
two of these.  Any comments or insights would be appreciated.  MNI TNX and VY
