[Elecraft] KX3 vs FT817 - how do the "inside dimensions" compare?

[Matthew Pitts]

Johnny,

Maybe, but the FT-817 doesn't need anything except maybe the CW filter; if all you're interested in is CW on 80-10 and don't ever intend to hook a transverter to it, the out of box K2 is fine. I have both, so I have the option of using them for different purposes; the 817 is my go radio, and the K2 is my home station radio.

Ft817 was past decade technology. I once used it but eventually replaced it with k2. Ft817 receives everything but difficult to select anything. There is also no built in atu and speech compressor in ft817.

Ft817 was a popular qrp rig but it is now the time for its glorious retirement. 73 Johnny
