[Elecraft] K3 Replaced Your Pro III?

[w5ov at w5ov.com]

Jim,

What do you want to know? Whether anyone who has owned a Pro3 has replaced
it with a K3? The answer to that is yes - hundreds of us - perhaps more.

Your description of the K3 as "relatively high-end" is not quite right, as
the K3 instead defines "high end" and sets the bar pretty high.

You might want to hang on to your K2 for backyard excursions because of
its size, but the K3 is substantially better than the Pro3 in most
measures. The only area where the K3 is relatively deficient is in not
having a built-in pan display, but the P3 seems to fill that void quite
well.

73,
Bob W5OV
