[Elecraft] Some thoughts on the K3 as an emergency communications station

[David Woolley (E.L)]

I would have thought the K2 was even better in some ways:

- less than a third of the receive current requirements;

- field repairable;

- whilst not as tolerant of close in signals, it is still very tolerant, 
and a disaster scenario ought to be a cooperative environment (otherwise 
you have human, rather than engineering problems), unlike a contest. 
I'd suggest this was more an issue in regional or national control 
centres, where power and weight would be lesser issues.
