Rig Comparison

Steve,

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is hardly a rig comparison!!!!!!!
How about something with a little substance to it!

Dave:

Sorry to dissapoint you but it's a photo (as I said). I copied the photo
from the Yahoo Eagle group. You compare them visually. I own a K3 but not
the other 2 rigs.

I keep hearing about how small the K3 is but in comparison to 2 recent
competitors, it's the BIG DOG on the block.

Yeah, but (setting aside all other performance comparisons), it can have 2
independent receivers. An A/B "dual watch" radio is not a hardcore DX radio,
hence not on the radar of many K3 owners, and not a real competitor. A size
comparison of the K3 to other 2-receiver radios (e.g. the brand-Y
46-pounder) tells a different tale.
