[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

Sorry for the bandwidth, but I just had to chime in.

Bought my K3 in 2008.  Was astonished at it's performance.

Bought my IC-7600 in 2010.  Boy, what a beauty of a radio that ICOM is.  
Beauty on the outside; much less stellar on the inside.

I decided I'd keep the ICOM as my backup rig and eventual SO2R "second" 
radio until something better (or a K4) came along.  Most of the past 5 
years it has collected dust because the performance is lacking in 
comparison to the K3.  True A/B switching proved that early on.  It was 
relegated to "that beautiful radio for non-hams to see" status.

Then the K3S comes along and I order one at Dayton.  I have done and 
continue to drink the Elecraft cool-aid.  No other manufacturer has 
given the vast majority of the ham community what they want.  It's all 
about performance; It's what's inside that counts.

I have a pristine IC-7600 for sale if anyone is interested.

73,
Dan
