That's it, I'm going to ask the silly question. How can the K3's receiver outperform that of the Icom IC-7800 and Yaesu FTDX9000? These two radios cost in excess of $11,000 and weigh in at over 25Kg (55lbs)! The K3 costs about $2000 and weighs about 4Kg (8.5lbs). Yes the K3 is deficient of a screen, internal PSU and some knobs but why on earth is there such a difference in price and weight? Given this, how can the K3's receiver outperform these other radios?
These questions keep bugging me. Those glossy Yaesu and Icom brochures certainly don't help! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/The-K3-in-comprison-to-the-Big-Guns-tp17267266p17267266.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
