Doug, I've done the same comparison. But what you have to remember is that the K2 and K3 are designed for two different purposes. The K2 is a great portable all-in-one self contained radio for taking out to the field. The K3 is designed as a top line contesting/dx rig that is portable enough for taking on dxpeditions with much more ease than other radios.
Two different purposes, two great radios, one great company! 73 Greg AB7R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 5:57 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] loaded K2 vs K3 Hope I've done the math correctly.
