[Elecraft] K2 vs K3

[K2ZLS]

 Hi  John,

   Your post tells a lot about you.  The first part is strong in EE and 
Programming experience.

   The last sentence says that you are a little lite in Ham experience.

   Many of  "us"  on the Elecraft Reflector were raised on the K2.  I 
guess its been

   about 8 years in development.  You really need to expand your horizons in

   Ham Radio.   Buy  the  K3.  Its a no-brainer.  There are many,  many

   horizons that you will never see if you limit yourself to K2.  There 
are Contests

   you will need a second receiver,  DVR  for recording and playback, 
there is

   UHF and VHF  6 meters,  there is an alphabet soup of DATA modes for which

   the K3 excels at and  SDR  with upgrades that change almost weekly.  
I'm sure

   there are many experiences that a LOT of us have yet to RTFM to find 
out about.

   There is a saying here in NEW YORK that goes, "You can't win it if 
your not in it".

   73's  and enjoy the K3 experience.
