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.

         One of the benefits of a modular approach like the K3 is 
that I'm not forced to pay for features I don't want or need.  This 
includes stuff like AM, FM, General Coverage, ATU, etc.  Why should I 
load up my <$3000 Dual Diversity K3 with features I don't need for a 
valid comparison?  The problem with the approach of most other rigs 
is that I cannot delete features I don't want.  IMHO this is their 
problem and one of the key reasons the K3 is such a good value if you 
use a little care in configuring it.
