While at the Orlando Hamcation, I stopped by the Kenwood booth. The sales dude mentioned that Kenwood would be introducing something in the "K3 class, as far as performance, but better".
I thought that was wonderful compliment for Elecraft, that they specifically singled out the K3 as the benchmark. Who knows if it'll be better, or not. Radios are so much about the software anymore, that without outstanding software controlling every aspect of the radio, the hardware, no matter how good, just won't be able to make up the difference. Personally, I'd put my money on Elecraft. He also mentioned that they'd have a "big radio" (presumably positioned against the FT-9000 / IC-7800) "sometime" in 2011. Anyway I thought I'd pass that along, FYI as they say. 73, Steve NN4X EL98jh ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
