The K3 is certainly where it is in the *sales* pecking order because of 
DXers and contesters.  Not much need to pay for the extra performance a 
K3 offers if all you're going to do is rag chew and check into nets.

I'm thankful for the dx'ers and contesters that keep the money flowing but I'm neither. 
I'm a rag chewer to the fullest. I don't like nets in general but... I used to partake in a rag chew net on 14.305 and about 15-30 minutes into the net, another one started on 
14.3075 which gave me fits!
That's what led me to get a k3!

It may not matter if your spinning the dial but if you have scheds or something similar it does. It's also fulfilling to operate such a fine piece of equipment. 

I know we rag chewers are a minority and I'm ok with that. I work a lot of weak signal 6-20m plus 60m. Very little 40 and no 75.
