[Elecraft] New Eham.net K3 review by QRPNEW

[Johnny Siu]

Hello OM,
 
When I read the reviews in the eham, I, in fact, deliberately look for the lower end markings.  It is up to myself to make my own determination but it is always very interesting in reading those 'odd remarks'.  Don't just grossly ignore those comments.  Sometimes, they will give you some insights and let you view from other angles.
 
There are areas in K3 which I really don't like though it is still a keeper for me.

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.
