[Elecraft] Re： K3 Replaced Your Pro III?

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Alan,

I agree with you that K2 is a keeper.  K2 is by far the best portable field day radio.  With standy current as low as 180mA, it can be run all day long especially nowadays, high capability Li-Po cells are cheaply available.

A pack of 3300mAH 12.6v Li-Po cells can keep the K2 happy for a whole day even at 10-15 watt output power.

主題： Re: [Elecraft] K3 Replaced Your Pro III?

Hi Jim,

Several years ago when I got my K3 (See 
http://wilcoxengineering.com/amateur-radio/elecraft-k3 ),
I had the Icom 746-Pro. Not quite what you have now, but it didn't take 
me long to sell the Icom.

The Icom is a nice rig, but as the other responses indicate, the K3 is 
far better. I like the Elecraft
because it's so easily serviced, and if there's a problem, the folks at 
Elecraft respond quickly.
A person answers the phone, and I really appreciate that.

You have a good little K2, and you'll be happy keeping it along with 
your new K3!

73, Alan
