Randy,
You pose an interesting question. The 7300 has been *extremely* popular
for the amount of features it delivers for the price. If you go that
route you can sell the Signalink. However I'm not sure you would see
much difference in receiver performance.
Another thought is a used K3 with a built-in tuner. There are a lot of
them on the market now that the K4 is almost being delivered.
If FT8 is your only interest I'd suggest the 7300.

So, background! I have just returned to the air after an 18 year hiatus
other than keeping my license up to date. What lured me back was retirement
and FT-8. For the past several days I have been operating with my Rev. A K2
(all options) built in 2001, a SignaLink USB interface, WSJT-X, MacLoggerDX
and JT-Bridge. Because I am "antenna challenged³ due to the HOA it has
become obvious that except in perfect conditions I could use a little more
horsepower. I¹m faced with a $1,170 bill to do the Rev. A/B mods, build the
Kat-100 and KPA-100 � or � $1,215 for an Icom 7300 and an LDG IT100 external
tuner. I¹d really appreciate thoughts from anyone who is knowledgeable on
both rigs. The Icom gives me a waterfall display and 6 meters � WSJT-X gives
my K2 a waterfall display. It¹s a toss up in price but I can¹t help
wondering about the 20 year difference in technology.
Thanks, Randy - NB7E
