[Elecraft] K2 vs K3 ?

Yes, It's called features and you get what you pay for. I Have both and they
are great radios. Let your budget help you decide.

Hi

I looked through the Archives and FAQ's and see the K3 is a All in one
rig with top of line features.

The K2 was the former one.  With a little less features and not all in
one processor.  It uses pic 18C452 instead of 18F452 etc so you can't
flash upgrade it as easily.

(I program Linux systems and PIC systems.)

But I can make a qrp rig for $770 K2 kit instead of $1400 K3 semi-kit
and I am an electrical engineer.

Is there any good reason to go to the K3?

P.S. K1's sell for more  assembled on Ebay than Kits........  So the
issues of losing money on the rig appear to not be true.
