It was said, the only replacement for a DC-3 was another DC-3.
The same can said for the K3.
I played with a local's 7300 trying to get it hooked up to the computer
et al. It only has a USB port. No band data output. Make sure your
logging program supports the 7300, if you do computer logging.
It did put out 100 watts OK. Adjusting power was a pain. If you have an
amplifier that needs different drive levels on different bands, this is
a possible issue.
It is small. I hope you have good strong glasses and tiny fingers. If
you like menus, you'll love the 7300. You will need an external speaker.
Not impressed with the spectrum display. Too tiny.
The price (used running $1000-1200) is a real plus.
All the above represents a first impression and there may be ways to
work around the issues encountered.

I have been thinking of purchasing a 7300 as a backup to my K3

comparison of the two radios??
Of course I could purchase a new K3S and keep the K3 as the backup.
However, for my daily use of ham radio, I am not sure that would be the
best approach for me.
I normally only operate on 40 and 75 meters on nets and rag chew. My
station (speakers, antennas, etc.) is designed for armchair copy
reception. To that end, the K3 does an excellent job.
So, if you have experience using both radios, I would sure like to hear
from you. You may either post here, or contact me directly at
