Roger,
Your quandary reminds me somewhat the decisions I made in buying my
K3 three years ago. Hopefully I can provide some help.
The K3 is a fantastic radio, thus it has lots of operating features
(which I have to totally explore, yet). Initially there is a bit of

Thank you very much to all those hams who replied to by post
regarding a buying decision for either the Elecraft K3 or the Ten Tec
