These were my reasons: 1- The great reputation of Elecraft in the market. 2- The high performance ratings. 3-The best technical support in the world. 4-Its small size 5- The possibility of upgrading hardware and firmware with time. 6- The great support also from this group. AD4C

A lot. I had considered the INRAD roofing filter mod for my aging FT-920 and decided against that. The K3's feature set intrigued me and the price was well in the ballpark of my budget for its performance reputation. I was pretty much sold on the idea by last July when I joined this list and the interaction of Wayne, Eric, and Dick with their customers put me over the top and I became a member of the family in October. It is a decision I have not regretted for one moment. Bravo, Elecraft! The downside is that I cannot be honest about this radio without sounding like a salesman. ;-) 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
