I don't get it with the K3. The "barebones" 10-watt version is
expensive compared to many rigs which are already more capable, and by
the time you add in options which are standard on other rigs you have
a VERY expensive rig. The crystal filters alone, if you get all seven
of them will set you back $840 all by themselves!! And then you have
to add the antenna tuner ($259), separate sub-receiver $539), 100 watt
upgrade ($349), digital voice recorder ($99) and after all that you
still don'thave a spectrum display....

Like I said, I don't get it.
