I see that a new review of the K3 has appeared on Eham.net which will no
doubt raise the hackles of the paid-up members of the Elecraft fan club, and
cause nods of agreement from many others.

Can we expect the many others to be posting for sale notices for their
K3's on the reflector?
I doubt it.

...he correctly observes that most hams merely want a
top-performing rig that stays put in their station and that is easy to
use.
I've recommended the K3 to quite a few people, none have bought it due to
the small size.
Any review for a high performance transceiver which starts off
complaining about the size of the box and the lack of enough knobs needs
to be looked at with a jaundiced eye.
I don't know where or when the idea that only BIG radios with lots of
knobs (3/4 of which never get used) should be

Why? It's about usability...
I'm colour-blind,
Very simply put you know how big a radio is before you buy it. You look at
the specs...if its too small for you,
get something that isn't.

Would you write a review like that if you were going to sell the
radio? I think I'd wait until after I sold it. Pure BS.

I can remember maybe a half dozen or so for sale notices for K3's on
this list in the last year. Including HB9DRV's and the other you
mentioned. Lets call it 10 to be generous. I haven't seen many for sale
anywhere, QRZ, E-Ham, eBay, etc Add them all up from all sources
call it 100. 100

Bill and others, hold on and think about these
figures. -35 to -38 dB IM3 !! We are dealing
with 2SC2782 transistors operating at around
12V DC. I say no more, the knowledge and intelligent
individual will understand.

QRPNEW has posted on the K3 before and in both cases he (or she) had a long
list of complaints. I have a hard time giving any credence to people who
hide who they are and play games with reviews either to make themselves
look good or educated and just bash a product. No product is perfect and

Actually when 10 meters opened up last Saturday I fired up my 850 for a
while on SSB. I went back to the K3. I could get much closer to signals with
the K3 without desense. I have been very happy with the K3 using the N8LP
Panadaptor. I've been able to get very close to 40 over signals with no
I too would have bought a K4 variant were it available - the K3 with a
full-sized front panel.
One future possibility is to merge K3 and TS-480 technologies to allow the
end-user the purchase of a control panel as a remote head -- and offer it in
small, medium and large sizes. The data

I don't do much SSB operating on my K3, but I was struck by the comments

that the guy doesn't know how to drive an amplifier. Most

hear pretty good the same but it's much easier to copy week signals with K2 if
