[Elecraft] 756ProIII vs K3

[Chip Stratton]

When I was first looking for a good HF transceiver, as a new ham, I was
excited by the colorful and fancy displays of the more expensive HF rigs. I
think I glanced at Elecraft, but thought the monochrome display old tech
and boring.  I was tempted by the ProIII but for cost, and finally settled
on an used Icom IC-7000.  Well, older and wiser now, the IC-7000 sits
unused except for occasional trips to the boat (as an emergency backup) and
the K2 and the KX3 get all of the attention, and for good reasons - ease of
use and performance.  I may yet rationalize getting a K3 in the future, but
that will be an indulgence, not a need! And those Elecraft displays seem to
be giving me everything I need, at a glance.
