The KPA 100 would be good fo field day and field setups but would not be able to connect to the 811 The 7300 would add the panadaptor and be able to connect to the 811 but not have the portable options of the KX3 What do I loose if I give up the 756?

Charlie,
Since the KPA100 is an add-on for the K2, I assume that you mean the KXPA 100. Why can't you drive your 811 with a KXPA100? 73, John AC0ZG On 3/2/2018 7:41 PM, Charles Carlon wrote: > Time to update and organize the Shack.

I cannot advise you on what to do - but: In my mind, the 7300 is
affordable and first class (so says Sherewood). It is all in one box with a good display and does everything an HF rig should do without the need of expensive addons (100 Watts, auto tune, SWL coverage, filters). It has been out long enough that it's bugs, quirks, and bad habits are all known. It does not have a K-Pod or extensive macro system (for external rig control). That said, my next purchase will be an IC-7300.

No doubt there are good radios available. But just remember. If it
breaks, someone has to fix it. Elecraft is the ONLY manufacturer I know of that will send me an email from support with hints and helpful suggestions BEFORE I contact them. I Went first to TenTec many years ago and then to Elecraft when I couldn't get any help for my other three brands of radios. 73, Dave, K4TO ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Very good point. I am not sure what my options would be if the 756 broke

Hmmm.
Sherwood obviously never tested an IC7300 with a less than optimum antenna or a broadcast station nearby. Our club has a K3 and an IC7300 and we can't use the IC7300 (without external filters and protection) for some special event stations, because there's a local broadcast station nearby and the IC7300's handling capability is abysmal. The K3 has no issues in the same situation. We've also found that the IC7300 internal tuner does not match an un-optimised antenna, whereas the K3 has not failed to find a match so far. To use an external tuner, the IC7300 needs an extra gismo, or you have to switch to FM to tune. OK, the gizmo's are available but they're not built in. K3 - press the TUNE button. You pays your money and takes your choice! 73, Alan.
