Ian and all, I too am not "really" a DX'er etc, but do love to have a nice conversation that may last for several minutes to sometimes several hours. I have had my share of all of the rice radios and the older USA brands. It only took one evening with a now SK, K6TNX, K3 who was kind enough to let me borrow it, then for me to order one. While I like the "frills" or so of what the others offer, the wonderful fullness of the audio, ease of operation and choice of BWs of the K3 makes the other radios blush. Keep it up Eric and Gang. Love the K3.
