[Elecraft] ELECRAFT K3-F P3-F & SP3.

Fri Mar 3 10:35:53 EST 2023

It’s a hard decision! I’ve been looking at YouTube and talking to people that have both radios. Both are really good radios, as is the K3. I’ve been inactive for a few months so getting back into and trying to figure out what I want to do. I have a lot of classic radios I’ve used for years in the garage. LOL. Getting close to pulling the cord however.

Thanks for the background on the thread.

Concur that at this price level no amount of due diligence is unreasonable.

Hope you go for it !

No negative experience just asking about pro’s and con’s since he had worked with both Flex and K4. I’m considering getting one or the other. I’ve had the k3 for 10 years now and thinking it’s time to replace it.

Tnx Julia and Dave;

I just thought it would be enlightening to hear whatever knocks “Rick” had in the K4, and if he actually had first hand experience with one or was parroting some of the negative spin floating around.

Ray was very convincing on his support of the K4, in any case!!

Good on ya’ Ray.
