[Elecraft] With all the problems...

[Fred Smith]

Thom

I can only give you my example for 2 yrs I had another top of the line radio
and it was the FTDX-5000MP and I had zero issues with it. But I bought a
used K3 just to compare the 2 they were so close in performance you could
really not tell them apart. Except for a few small issues where one was
better than the other and there were some. After 3 mo I decided to sell my
5000 and bought another K3 and set them up in a SO2R. I have been well
pleased they are smaller and lighter and some of the best support anywhere
that is what separates Elecraft from the pack by a long shot.

IMHO you would be hard pressed to find a better radio and I tend to buy what
is best not a brand loyalist.

73,
Fred/N0AZZ

Thom -- You have to realize that while there are some legitimate problems
raised, much of what you read is pilot error from people who either have not
read the manual or have not tried very hard to solve the problem themselves.
Elecraft is great.  The radio is phenomenal.  My K3 has replaced my trusty
FT-1000D and I couldn't be more pleased with the radio.  AND if you do need
service or have a question, it doesn't get any better than Elecraft!  Super
company...super people.  You won't be sorry if make the leap!  73 de
