[Elecraft] New Eham.net K3 review by QRPNEW

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I am or was a knob guy.  When contesting I liked having knobs that I could
turn if I need to do so vs. having to enter into a menu in the heat of a
contact or pileup to change something.

What I have found with the K3, I just don't feel the need to do anything
other than turn the vfo knob or tighten up the roofing filters.....

I own two FT-2000's and they do look cool and work fine but they don't work
as well as the K3.

Very simply put.... you know how big a radio is before you buy it.  You look
at the specs...if its too small for you, get something that isn't.
