[Elecraft] A Clarification: IC-7300 vs FTDX10

[Don Wilhelm]

Richard and all,

I have a friend who bought a K3s and then afterward bought an IC-7300.  
He is a weak signal CW type of guy and reports that there are many weak 
signals that he could copy on the K3, but were non-existent on the IC-7300.

His reason for buying the IC-7300 had to do with possible "portable" 
operation.  Of course, the K3 is his rig of choice.
Yes, he does have the P3 to compliment it.

He had operated my K3 with P3 for 2 years at Field Day and found it 
excellent.  He commented that the K3 with the P3 allowed him to work 
stations "like shooting a fish in a barrel".

I know this does not compare the IC-7300 to the FTDX10, but I thought it 
to be a point of interest to some.

I wonder how many will be comparing the K4 to the K3 with on the air 
experiences.

73,
Don W3FPR
