I received a load of interesting and solid replies regarding my query
about the IC-7300. Many were quite technical and some were excellent
from a daily use perspective. However, without a doubt, the
non-technical advice regarding a backup rig was the best I received.
" ......... put the money in a savings account and add $50 to cover next
day shipping for the off chance your rig dies." It was also suggested
that a second rig is an expensive paperweight (because modern rigs are
very reliable). "Paperweight" is applicable in my case, as I am only
able to operate a single rig at a time - I do not do multi-QSO well.
Hence, I have decided on an envelope in the desk labeled "for K3S."
Better to do that, than to keep a spare on the shelf gathering dust.
Further, there is no steep learning curve going from a K3 to a K3S.
Thanks to all that replied - I learned a lot.
Best 73,
Bill W2BLC
