Joe, I did almost the same thing, replacing my Mk V. Of course, Yaesu is the
company people love to criticize, but the Mk V is a terrific radio and some
version of the FT1000 has probably put more hams on the Honor Roll than any
other rig.

Nonetheless, if you got used to DXing with the Field, that's just all the
more reason that you'll appreciate the K3. The things the FT1000 does well,
the K3 does even better. And the annoyances of the FT1000 are pretty much
overcome, particularly those relating to the age differences in DSP
technology.

Another bonus is the ease of interfacing with a computer. I used to use
RigBlaster, but now there is no interface at all -- just a serial cable and
two audio cables. Everything is much simpler and works better.

Anything relating to service is way better with Elecraft, too, and this
reflector and the many knowledgeable fans of the K3 are really helpful.

And you'll have a lot more desk space.
