Rumor has it (second hand) that some Contesters are now shying away  
from the K3 due to it's complexity, but not necessarily it's performance. As a  
relatively experienced owner I had no problem running what I consider to be  
excellent radio. I've owned or operated most of the modern rigs sold in the  
last 15 years, and find the K3 (and my IC-765) to be the best of the group.


Gary,

Think there will always be some who will find the K3 complex coming from another rig, and there is a learning curve (even coming from a K2). Some just won't like it.

Judging by how many come up on the second hand market and how quickly they sell, it doesn't seem like folks are shying away from it.

Some like to tweak every setting and in a M/M or M/S that can be an issue.

Wonder if you could save user preference settings using K3_EZ? This sounds like something that should be easy to do in software.

Sounds like you had fun. See you in the CW event.
