Well, Dick.... Long ago, I gave up trying to understand why some folks choose the things they choose.
If you think back to the 60's or 70's, you could NEVER convince a Mustang owner that Ferrari was the way to go... or vice-versa. Some men like women who LOOK hot. Some men like women for personality/brains. If you can find one with both...WOW! When the Orion 1 came out, I thought it was the butt-ugliest rig I had ever seen...but I respected the specs. With OII, they "gave in" to the demand for a color screen, but it was still butt-ugly. LOL. When the programmer left, I stopped reading the TT mail entirely. Too bad. TGI Elecraft! It sure doesn't LOOK like a 7800, but boy does it play! Most of the time, when I use a radio, I'm not admiring its looks. But maybe that's just me. I've heard of a trophy wife...maybe some guys want a trophy rig. But the K3 is no "last one at the bar" either. Cost? I thought the K3 was INEXPENSIVE for what you get...still is. Compare to $10 or $12K???? NO brainer. If these FOCers are contesting, I hope they love their FT2000...cuz I"ll run rings around 'em with the K3. Different strokes....so be it. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
