Speaking of the new FT-5000; one will have to admit that when technology
improves, the FT-5000 will make a much better "boat anchor" than the K3.
But today, one really great feature of the K3 is that I don't need a "block
and tackle" to move it into position in the shack.

I believe those who buy the FT-5000 because of its Sub RX will be
disappointed...as I was with Orion's. The FT-5000 design is basically an
Orion clone and will suffer the same Sub RX problems:
1. True diversity will not be possible due to slightly different
frequencies between Main and Sub.
2. Strong-signal handling of the Sub will be very poor.
Time will tell but that's my prediction as an ex-Orion owner for 4 years.
