[Elecraft] Provocative Kenwood Advert working link here

[Jeff KB2M]

What I don't like about the new Kenwood is that it doesn't have an IF out. I
think they shot themselves in the foot on that one.

Hi

I see no advantages over the K3, so why would you even consider this new
model Kenwood? If it was a 1000 dollar radio that might  be a good a reason
for a change.

As I see it the Kenwood has less  knobs and  functionality on its front
panel than the K3.

The transmitter uses 12 volt devices so the IMD is probably going to be
below acceptable standards.

It does not look like the new Kenwood  has  remote direct internet control
like the TS480.

This is just a TS570S on steroids for the receiver, it aint gonna set the
world on fire. 

All I am waiting for now is Icoms down conversion radio. I would not be
surprised if they released something like the IC706 with a down conversion
receiver just to be  trendy. Despite what Icom says it will produce a down
conversion radio. They had a good one the IC751A.

 It would be  hard for Icom too brag about receiver performance when this
cheap lowly Kenwood will kick the crap out of its $10K IC78000, not a good
look in the market place!

Stay tuned for the new movie, "Fiddler on the roofing filter"! It stars the
3 Samurai's
