The FT2000 looks like a fine radio and if its like the FT1000MP...well...it will be a winner. But, the K3 looks like a fine radio too. But it boils down to this.... You can order at FT2000 right now....and get it in a week or so. You can order a K3 right now....but you are going to wait away. How long? Very hard to say, but I think that "E" has been deluged with orders. So, the backlog is going to be rather hugh. I don't think they are shipping until the middle of the summer. There are a lot of offerings out there now with the new OMNI and the FT2000 and FT450 and now the K3. Knowing what my K2 does...and how well it works...and how much I love the radio...I am waiting for the K3. The k3 has features on ti the I,Y,K and the T have not provided. I think the RX numbers will be fantastic... well very competitive. The K3 has been engineered for Hams by Hams. That is a plus. Knowing the guys at E and understanding what they've done over the years, I think that my money is on the guys from Aptos, CA. So I would pick E over I, Y, K and T at this point.,,,but you going to have to WAIT! Lee - K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.
