[Elecraft] Introduction

Rob's list is invaluable, however, there are many "features" of the various
radios listed.

I believe Rob's list is sorted on close signal receive performance.

The K3 is the best radio I have had, however, the audio leaves a lot to be
desired.  The K3 would not be my first choice if receive audio was heavily
weighted on my list of features.

Rob's list does not address all the nuances in picking a radio.

Hi Ken,

I don't know anything about the Eagle other than testing by ARRL and by Rob
Sherwood, which shows the K3 to be superior.

If you're thinking backpacking, take a look at he KX3 when you're cruising
the Dayton booth. Add the KXPA100 power amp and you have a nice rig for home
or mobile. Not as nice as a K3, but it also tests superior to the Eagle.
