[Elecraft] IC-756 ProIII & K3S

[Dave Matthews]

I also have an Icom Pro3 with the Inrad roofing filter, and considered 
selling it when I bought my KX3 system.  Looking at the going rate for 
the pro3 I decided just to keep it.  Sentimental value as well since it 
was my first HF rig and I did the Inrad installation myself.  (What a 
challenge that was, but it works great!)

I hope you get a good price for the Pro3.  Please let me know how that 
goes...  I may still look to selling mine.

In my opinion the KX3 is better and I use it almost exclusively now, but 
the Pro3 is still a great rig.

I really like the fact that the Pro III has the “Dual Watch” feature and I use a multi-band antenna via Icom remote antenna “tuner” (AH-4). I would to use the K3S with an SGC coupler (I think I’ve read that you can program the K3 to provide 10 watts to “tune” the antenna).
