[Elecraft] Is it Competition

[Gary NL7Y]

To be brief...I owned my first K3/P3 together with a KW TS-590. I preferred
the K3 for weak CW in my city QRN, but decided to leave Elecraft until their
products matured. The 590 is nice, and while it has a few warts, works ok
for me.

Four years later...I bought and tested for almost a month a TS-990 against
my 590. I felt the 590 was as, if not more, capable than the 990's main
receiver, and equal to the sub receiver on weak CW 20-160M in the presence
of city QRN. I didn't test it in a crowded contest. The 990 has lots of
features and interface bling.

I sold the 990 at a loss to revisit the K3/P3. I find that the K3/P3 have
matured, and fully filtered still does better dealing with weak CW than my
590. 

73, Gary NL7Y
