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

[Doug Turnbull]

Bill,
    I could learn from this wisdom.   Socrates is amongst us.   Some of the
information though was good especially for someone just getting a start.
There are some pretty nice radios out there for low budget not to mention a
used bare bones K3.

I received a load of interesting and solid replies regarding my query 
about the IC-7300. Many were quite technical and some were excellent 
from a daily use perspective. However, without a doubt, the 
non-technical advice regarding a backup rig was the best I received.

" ......... put the money in a savings account and add $50 to cover next 
day shipping for the off chance your rig dies." It was also suggested 
that a second rig is an expensive paperweight (because modern rigs are 
very reliable). "Paperweight" is applicable in my case, as I am only 
able to operate a single rig at a time - I do not do multi-QSO well.

Hence, I have decided on an envelope in the desk labeled "for K3S."   
Better to do that, than to keep a spare on the shelf gathering dust. 
Further, there is no steep learning curve going from a K3 to a K3S.

Thanks to all that replied - I learned a lot.

Best  73,

Bill W2BLC
