This presentation is interesting and informative.

Although the K3 is undoubtedly an excellent radio, why must we hide behind the price of it by showing the cost of other radios it is being compared to?

>From my calculations, a K3 WITHOUT a band-scope or panadapter or spectrum display that is built up so that it is comparable in basic features to the Ten Tec Orion or ICOM 7800 or Yaesu FT9000 (which has a model that is significantly less than $10K), is pushing $4000.  Any method you use to to add a spectrum display will push it over that in a hurry.

I like to see honest advertising but one has to wonder about this sort of comparison.
