[Elecraft] K3 how often do you use it?

[Ci Jones]

Same here, but about 25 hours a week. Having sold an Orion and bought 
the K3, I did it in part because of its nice size and ergonomics. I 
love this radio, and I have only had it about a month now. But I guess 
I am weird in that I still really like my K2...

Randy,

I use my K3 probably 30+ hours per week and I find it superbly suited 
for my
purposes.  A bigger box with more knobs I don't need but that's just me.
 YMMV.
