years. We run QRP battery for the entire "contest". We use a

Lets end this thread now, as it is exceeding our SNR posting limit.

Well I do have to say, though, that my "K3 plus" and K3s both are very

Phil - yes, in much the same way as the K3S is not a SOTA rig :-)
I have a KX3 and also an IC-7300, and I don’t see either as competition
for one another - I will keep both.
Interestingly, the current draw on RX on the IC-7300 is amazingly low

I consider this group to be a great collection of well-seasoned hams (smoked
hams?). I assume that a lot of us are Elmers. Elecraft equipment is the right
choice for most of us, but I appreciate the comments on other gear, so that I’m
ready to give a new ham a solid list of choices.

I am really "Elecraft Centric", but I believe with good reason -

I think the 7300 could intrude against the KX3 in the "base station
replacement" market, though. It's obviously an important enough market, in
fact, that Elecraft developed the KXPA100 with built-in tuner to augment the
KX3's attractiveness in that particular scenario. So I think the 7300 could

Joe,
Crucial difference is that the KX3 system is
modular and the barefoot KX3 can be used very
effectively battery operated for SOTA, camping and
the like. I suspect the IC-7300 was not designed
for power efficiency :-)
So I see them as a very different class of rig.

Nice bit about Ten-Tec on Elcraft reflector :)
I do not mind info about non Elecraft equipment in comparison with Elecraft
equipment. IMHO this is not OT at all.
