[Elecraft] K3 Replaced Your Pro III?

[KU5Q]

My K3 has replaced the following;

IC7800, IC7700, IC7600, and PROIII.

Yes it was stupid for me to have all those Icoms. More money than good
sense. It's the price I pay for hands on. I quit asking a long time ago for
peoples opinions on what I should have. I try for myself. 

The only thing I don't care for on the K3 is the speaker audio for voice.
Most everybody else I know does not have a problem with it. And I don't
anymore since I operate 99% CW at this time.  The K3 is the only HF/6m XCVR
that I've never regretted getting. The build quality, the company leadership
and location, the support from the company, the dynamic presence of K3
enthusiasts on the internet forums and email reflectors are things that all
make something that nobody can touch right now. 

NOBODY!!!

Even if for whatever reason you decided after purchasing and using the K3
you did not like it, you would have no trouble selling it, and would
probably lose very little (if any!) of your money investment. I'll also
speak from experience on this from earlier last year when I traded a used a
K3 to another ham for a fully filtered Orion II/566AT which is also fine
radio. I kicked myself for many months after that, and now finally have a
K3/100 again. 

There is only one Icom HF/6m xcvr left here on the table, a second IC7700
that will probably be up for sale cheap since it gets no use these days.

Sorry for the long ramble. I'll bet there are many others that feel the same
way.
