I can not say that the specs prove the 7700 is better or worse overall as a SSB rig. I think it is clear that for CW contesting, the K3 has better specs. The 7700 seems aimed at the comfortable arm chair, brandy in hand, cuban cigar, imprepressive setup with a 30" display, let me tweak my audio a bit, you are always 5x9 here, it looks good on the scope, am I wide enough -- approach to hamming. It is surely a rig with great "style and feel", and by the way also a world class performer. On the other hand the K3 is the sports car that can be stripped down simple, or you can add the performance packages -- but at its core is high performance. Frills second, performance first.
