[Elecraft] K3: Thinking return to K3.

[Thomas Norff]

Ruben,

i've just done a comparison of both trx (no open decision ... just for
fun...).
My interest is not to be pro or con K3 or other products !
Technically there is no really poorly designed trx. 
It's all about design decisions with all associated pros and cons..
At the end we stopped comparing technical values and design decisions ...

The IC7600 is a finished product, while the K3 is still evolving ...

The userinterface of the IC7600 is quite good. 
The possibility to connect a keyboard is neat for digital modes.
I also like the haptics and the display.

My K3 will have a nice display in the near future and i also guess there
will be a keyboard connected to the K3 :o)
The NR and the audio of the K3 evolved a lot (a new K3 will include the new
DSP-Board).
So it's more a question of personal preferences.
I like to be part of a community evolving a product. 

You have to be shure what features you will need during your typical
operation.
Are you willing to use a computer beside the trx ?

The technical differences will be recognizable only within pileups or
multiple strong signal situations.

This is my personal opinon  -  YMMV

Hello friends:
I am Ruben from Spain.
Around 10 months ago i owned a K3/100 with ATU and original 2.7 filter.
I tested it around 2 months and after that i sold it.
At that moment i didn't like its audio (very crispy for me) and selectivity
with 2.7 filter wasn't better than my old 756pro2.
Now i am thinking buy again one K3, but this time with better filters and
voice keyer.
I my options is also an IC-7600.
I think this question has been done lots of times in this list, but excuse
me, i have to ask...
What do you think?
Is audio better in last units?
With better filters... A lot better selectivity?
Your coments are very helper for my choice.
Has anybody tested a k3 and 7600 at same time?

Thank's a lot friends and happy 2010.
