Departing list ......
Locked
 
|
I've decided to not order the K3, and
am leaving this list today. Being a 1-rig ham, I really need to be practical and go with a 1-rig HF/60/VHF/UHF rig, ala IC-7000. Perhaps in late 2008 spring, when K3 dust settles - I'll be back. But the 1-rig, HF/VHF/UHF and mobile rig - will have to suit me for a while. And I don't know what mobiling with a K3 would mean. I'm a snowbird, in cars, 2 residences, boat in summer, golf cart in winter. Lots of shacks. I will not miss the Reflector. I stopped doing email administration back in 89. My K3 order was a "2nd Production Run" order. So long. 73's Fred, de N3CSY 3 Oct 07 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. http://mobile.yahoo.com/go?refer=1GNXIC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Without having seen the K3 in action, has anyone got any idea what the
differences would be if you stood an IC-7000 next to a K3 and compared their performances?

The K2 blows the doors off anything Icom makes below a 756 ProIII level. The IC-7000 is nothing more than a prettified 706MkII-G which has the same HF receiver as the IC-718. Some people want performance, some people want convenience. -- R.

In defence of ICOM the IC-7000 is 100% different to the IC-706MkII.
Performance is another issue... Simon Brown, HB9DRV ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.

>From what I have heard, the 7000 will be very poor compared to the K3. The 756 pro was much worse than the K2, and all the 756 pro series are at least twice the price of the 7000! 1.6 MHz to 440 in a very small box, how good could it really be? As a mobile rig, it would likely be neat, but has no antenna tuner, you have to add that... Just like those really little handhelds that do 500 KHz to UHF, they do it all....poorly....

Agreed,
I have an ft-817 and portability is definitely it's strong suit. The receiver is lacking to say the least. But, I can put an entire station in a bag. People mix apples and oranges when comparing rigs. All that says I have not finished the K2....... 73 de KU4YP Michael Prevatt Ft.

The eham reviews look quite good!
For a mobile rig it seems the trick, you could work 10 meters, 2 meters, listen (tx?) on CB for hiway conditions, all with one remotely mounted radio. I cant believe it works as good as they say though, and a 150MHz 1st if??? Surely there is no filter at 150 MHz.... I hope to try the K3 mobile, and I suppose I can listen to channel 19 on CB as well. Any day now I suppose!

I think we have to compare an apple with an apple. IC7000 is capable when you see it as a mobile rig from 500k to UHF. It can no way be compared with a contest rig like K2 and K3. When coming to IC756pro3, its DSP manual notch within AGC loop is very useful when operating the rig under strong QRM condition. The DSP NR is better than KDSP2 in SSB mode. When I operate in SSB mode, I like 756pro3 but K2 works better in CW mode where you don't even need IF shift. K3 should be the all round station rig to combat against the big players. I am in the early batch and waiting for it now. 73, Johnny Siu VR2XMC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
