[Elecraft] The Cost Of Amateur Radios

[MontyS]

If you want a Flex 6700 at half the cost, check out the Anan 100D from 
Apache labs.  Gigaparts is their US dealer.

Isn't it great to have choices?  :-).

The 6300 is an entry level rig and as such will not hold up too well in 
battle with its lack of preselectors.   The 6500 has preselectors but only 1 
FPGA spectral capture unit.. (e.g. no diversity)  only the $7000+ 6700 has 
diversity capability but both the 6500 and 6700 can replace 2 K3's with 
various SO2R tasks and that could make it attractive and a possible good 
value.
