[Elecraft] K3 VS 7600 Sherwood List

[juergen piezo]

Hi Tom

And who can ignore the TS830S! 30 years old and its giving the $10K IC7800
and most other modern radios a good run for their money. It can even have a bandscope WOW,  amazing for a $500 dollar radio thats so old. Bye golly by gosh you will even  be able to fix it, and it has all the  right "numbers" on both RX and TX. 

The FT102 would be another good candidate.

Now why does  some entrepreneur  not manufacturer the TS830S in China? Add  a bandscope and a 200 watt solid state amplifier and you will have lots of change left over from $10k. ChIcom sounds like a good name!

Juergen
