Guy:
--------- The Yakencom boys keep throwing something or the other overboard to try and match the K3. And I would have thought that the Kenwood 590 would have finished in better shape (that's what's new on the list BTW). If you bought your K3 in a fit of p***s envy, you're sure to get knocked down on some list sooner or later. But if you bought it for all those high numbers AND reasonable cost AND two equally excellent receivers AND true diversity AND customer support AND constantly evolving firmware AND configurability AND an owner who's always listening to the troops AND ... , then the other guys on the list don't really compare. ---------- Completely agree... And dont forget the weight factor... Its much harder to cart a pair of 7800'ds a kilometer across the soggy Russian Tundra than to carry a pair of K3 in each hand... And your table wont start sinking into the ground with the weight, either! OK, <ducking> I wont start that again! :) HNY Lu-W4LT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

What gets me in a K3 is that there is still some room in there, even
after installing the KRX3 to the 100W transceiver, to add something else. So far the possibilities haven't tickled my fancy. But the way it is put together allows some intriguing homegrown devices. We ARE around here designing some quiet 160 RX antennas SPECIFICALLY for diversity, kind of like a 4 square, where one ear listens to the selected direction, and the other ear listens to an equally quiet channel of the two directions adjacent to the selected. No K3 and we wouldn't even be THINKING of such a thing. Now the RX antenna switch box HAS to have a diversity port on it, and sending just ONE direction from the array back to the RX is intolerable. Two runs of flooded RG6. Whoodda thunk it... 73, Guy.

TRUE portable operation. Fill it up BEFORE the DXpedition, run it
without noisy generators. Obviously an Elecraft miniature of the Apollo versions. Need one to replace the battery in my K2. Selling these WHEN? Oh gak. I've been day-dreaming again.
