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

[Phil Hystad]

I spent some time with the Icom ic-7300 last fall at the HRO in Portland Oregon (actually, Tigard).  I was impressed with the layout, features available on front panel, touch screen and overall size.  It was smaller than I thought it would be (from a former Pro III owner) and even though a touch screen is no where near the top of any wish list of mine, it seemed to work well and offer the most obvious features via touch.

For awhile there I was thinking why not — why not add this cute little SDR to my collection.  Then I realized that it would mostly collect dust or some other radio would collect more dust and besides, I would probably rather spend the money on some more woodworking equipment.

But, if you need a good backup radio, this one is priced right and probably would not be a mistake.
