[Elecraft] K3S VS: IC-7300

[Doug Person]

I didn't see any comparison chart for the K3S and the IC-7610.  I did 
see the comparison of the K3S with the IC-7300. This made me laugh. By 
the time you add up the required options for the K3S to achieve feature 
parity with the IC-7300 it costs 3 times as much. This actually makes 
the IC-7300 look like a really good deal. The IC-7300 is, after all, an 
entry level radio.

I'll never stop being impressed by the ability of the K3/K3S. But, to 
me, it is no longer cost competitive. The only advantage the K3S has 
today is it has one of the best receivers. I doubt this advantage will 
last much longer.
