[Elecraft] Can anyone give me pointers to Sherwood reports?

[Scott Manthe]

Here's a link the the Sherwood specs. The IC-7600 is a decent radio, but 
you can get nicely appointed K3 and you'll have a better radio in all 
respects, excepting the fish-finder.

Notice that the IC-7600 has the 25th ranked receiver in that table. The 
Icom's menu system is easier to navigate, but I just got my K3 three 
days ago, I got it up and running with just a cursory reading of the 
manual. And while the K3 is complex there is a benefit in that you can 
configure it to fit almost any operating style or situation.

The K3 is the best performing rig I've ever owned and while I guess it'd 
be nice if it looked a little more like an FT2000/5000, there is a great 
deal to be said for the styling of the K3 and the relatively small size 
and light weight.

Good luck making the choice that's right for you!
