Just wondering what Rig would be your second choice if you can't wait 
forever to get a K3?

Waiting for a K3?  IF you don't have a K2 don't rule it out before buying
another manufacturer's radio.  Fabulous rig and very pleasant to use!  I
only have two of them and am thinking of getting a K1 kit while waiting for
the K3 production to get caught up.  And the KX1 is a sweet multi-band radio
which is really cool.   (And, no I don't own or support Elecraft other than
like the building and quality.)

Maybe a used Yaesu/Ken or Icom. Don't trust the new Icom and Yaesu rigs.
The best rigs for the money are bought used or if it has to be new try 
TT,Elecraft or Flex.

Get a used Orion I - a bargain at around $2K and you'll be able to resell it
for little loss when your K3 is ready.

2008-01-04 Thread Charlotte & Bob Higgins


I made this mistake before with another manufacturer's new top of the line 
rig. I ordered it and waited and waited. The release date kept being pushed 
back and back. Finally my patience gave out. I cancelled the order and 
bought my second choice rig.


I regretted doing it almost immediately. Even more so when my first choice 
rig started arriving in ham's hands. I eventually sold my second choice rig 
and bought my first choice.


I'm not going to make that mistake again. I'm going to wait patiently for my 
K3, because it is really the rig  I want, far above any second choice.


Don't worry it won't really take forever to arrive.

Larry,

You did not state any parameters, so ...
How about a K2 - they are shipping, no waiting.
The K2 does have a top notch receiver, and right now only a few high end 
transceivers perform better (they also cost substantially more than the K2).


The K3 wait will not be 'forever' - eventually the Elecraft folks will 
catch up with the orders and you can have a kit 'right off the shelf' - 
I would expect that to occur sometime in the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2008, 
but then I do not know the details of the order backlog, so that is just 
a guess on my part.

Don W3FPR
