Note that I own a K3, a K3S, a KPA500 a KAT500 and the BC342N I got my start
with 60 years ago. I'm generally pleased with them all.
I did own an Icom IC-211 once. After fixing it more times that I can remember I
gave it to a friend who also had one. I often said that it was a measure of his
character that I gave him that radio and yet we remained friends. So, I've
never been a fan of Icom. That said, if Rob Sherwood's QRZ page is up to date,
the guy whose words are gospel to the Elecraft (dare I say Koolaid
drinkers...nah) crowd, has Kenwood, Icon and Flex radios in his shack. Not an
Elecraft in sight.
I don't know what that means...just an observation.

In my opinion the K3 is a Far better radio than the Icom.
I was an Icom fan right up until I bought my K2 years ago....

Subject: [Elecraft] IC-756 ProIII & K3S
Hello Everyone,
I am considering selling my Icom IC-756 ProIII, with Inrad roofing filter, to
help pay for a future K3S. While at the moment I am somewhat inactive, due to
work and my remodeling of my home, I don’t see myself getting a K3S until
Spring.
However, I the more I wait, the more the ProIII the value declines. I still
have another rig to use.
Question: In replacing the ProIII, what would be the best most economical add
ons to the K3S? I really like the fact that the Pro III has the “Dual Watch”
feature and I use a multi-band antenna via Icom remote antenna “tuner” (AH-4).
I would to use the K3S with an SGC coupler (I think I’ve read that you can
program the K3 to provide 10 watts to “tune” the antenna).
I”d like to hear from anyone who has gone from the Pro III to the K3 or K3S and
get their advice (all others are welcome, too).
Tnx & 73,
Jeff
