The Perseus is an SDR, so you have to consider the extra costs: - a computer powerful enough to take advantage of the software - fighting the software, bugs, config problems, chasing down drivers over the internet, calls, emails to whoever that go unanswered etc....
That's a lot of additional overhead in terms of cost and labor you have to take into account along with it. The K3 eliminates all of that (except for FW updates which require using the updater) so it's at least comparable. And for me, not having to battle broken SW and computers to get on the air is exceptionally valuable. YMMV as far as your labor, but it's still a consideration. 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Any-Consideration-of-a-Receive-Only-K3-tp4704530p4716482.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
