[Elecraft] Compare the K3 and the Icom IC-7300

[John Dolan]

I have had both the IC-7300 and the K3S here in the shack as well as the
TS-590SG.  The IC-7300 has it's little nice features but I didnt find it
better than the TS-590SG for rag chewing and general use. I have an IC-7600
and I found that the IC-7300 didnt really have as good sounding a
receiver.  For my $$$ I would purchase the Kenwood TS-590SG for a backup to
my K3S if I didnt already have an IC-7600.

Just my opinion, YMMV.

73, John WB4YAL
