Sorry for the bandwidth, but I just had to chime in. Bought my K3 in 2008. Was astonished at it's performance.
Bought my IC-7600 in 2010. Boy, what a beauty of a radio that ICOM is. Beauty on the outside; much less stellar on the inside.
I decided I'd keep the ICOM as my backup rig and eventual SO2R "second" radio until something better (or a K4) came along. Most of the past 5 years it has collected dust because the performance is lacking in comparison to the K3. True A/B switching proved that early on. It was relegated to "that beautiful radio for non-hams to see" status.
Then the K3S comes along and I order one at Dayton. I have done and continue to drink the Elecraft cool-aid. No other manufacturer has given the vast majority of the ham community what they want. It's all about performance; It's what's inside that counts.
I have a pristine IC-7600 for sale if anyone is interested. 73, Dan ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
