I've only had my K-3 for less than two weeks and I am no contester by any means. In fact, I am a rather little pistol. But I must say that I find the K-3 absolutely amazing. Compared to my Orion II it is much quieter. I keep discovering new and unique features every day. I also can't imagine anyone selling a K-3 except for financial reasons. I suppose some folks simply get tired of staring at the same radio and try something new. If they do, I think they may regret it. At this point, my main wish is for a nice pan adapter which I do find useful on my ICOM 756 Pro and on the Orion II, although, the pan adapter on that radio could stand some improvement.

You can read it all (impressive) or just scroll (and scroll and scroll) down to the bottom and read the last full paragraph. Pretty cool! To those selling their K3s for other than financial reasons...check your compass. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
