[Elecraft] K3 on order

[Fred Smith]

Yes you gained a lot in receiver performance/filtering/NR over the 9000, I
had not much over the 5000 but the filtering and the sub-receiver is what
made me switch.

I replaced am FTdx9000d with my K3 and i lost nothing in performance.

nice thing about Elecraft is the K3 just keeps getting better.

wish i could say thrvsame about my  smartr-than-me mobile phone.

An Elecraft phone would be a hoot?

I did not mention a price and that was intentional for all the obvious
reasons there were some in the 10k+ range. My K3 (loaded) replaced a
FTDX-5000MP and with the P3/SVGA both about the same price $6000 range.

I would like to know exactly what/which model transceiver meets the K3
specifications AT the same or lower cost.

I don't know of any, but, I could be wrong. All of the current crop of
transceivers work, it's just that the K3 does it better...:-)

JMHO...and I AM biased of course!

Quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten, junk reminds
you quickly of what you have done.

The base price of a K3/100 is quite cheap for what you get and holds the
value "Very Well" for a long time if you will check. The base model will
hold its own against most all radios the way you receive it but you can have
the very best made if you desire I have one of each.

I have had a few people complain about costs but from everything I have read
about the support and build quality I am confident with this decision.

I have never regretted my K3 purchase. Even when the KIO3 board flaked out.
