I think Chris has hit it on the head. Looking at a high-performance direct sampling rig vs. a high-performance superhet with digital features is looking at "definitely different animals". Exactly the same sort of problem that comes from a question that begins "if you could have only one...".
I love my K3, but own a Flex 1500 as well (dipped my toe in to test the water). I could happily live with only the K3. However, I haven't jumped into the different world of the Flex 6700. I suspect if I did, I wouldn't want to part with either of them. They are different tools -- each excels in certain situations. The key thing that strikes me as a real advantage of Elecraft is how well an old K3 performs when upgraded. You can't do that to a Flex 1500/3000/5000. Elecraft is the only company that consistently looks after their customer base by providing continuous improvements. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ 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
