Easily the best radio I have ever owned, and I've had a few in my 50+ years
of ham life. My last five have been 2 different TS-450SAT's (great radio for
it's day), a TS-2000 (misunderstood, but also a fine radio) and an Icom
IC-756 Pro 3 (very disappointing). Of course, number 5 is my K3. I also have
an FT-857D as backup and for UHF (pretty good radio). Prior to all of these
I've had 2 different Drake lines as well as TR3, TR4 in it's various
reincarnations.
The Drakes will also be fondly remembered. Great gear, and Miamisburg is
only 30 miles north of here. Easy to drive the Drake radios up for service.
But, IMO, the Elecraft K3 is by far, superior to any of the above. It will
be hard to beat in the future. I do think the K3 will be my last radio. Time
marches on and me along with it.
73 ... and Happy Holidays...

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Are you satisfied with your K3?
I AM!!!! As my K3 operates today, it is the best receiver I have ever
used - and the list is over fifty years long. The settings I use were
posted here several days ago. They are directed towards armchair copy
use - I doubt if they would do much to enhance a DXer's or contester's
use.
YES! Best rig I have ever had! The Collins, Drake are loads of fun to
tinker with these days but for DXing and light contesting ... I have had
nothing better than the K3. My old FT1000 served me well but the K3, I
could not be more pleased!
