I have a K1, and a KX2....Looking at a K3S.
This only for the QSK.
The rigs are not user friendly!!
My OMNI 6+ is a joy to operate, the Elecrafts often require I pull out
the manual!
If I had no other rig, but a single Elecraft....I'm sure I'd soon have
it memorized. But when switching rigs
often, it is hard to get used to them.
At least that has thus far been my experience!
It's amazing that there is not a Kenwood, Icom, or Yaesu that has the
QSK that my Omni 6+ does!!!

In my humble opinion, a suitable alternative to the Corsair-II is the
currently available Elecraft K2 with the 100W PA.

Elecraft products are made in America, they have excellent service,
forward thinking design, a large support base, offered kit or
assembled, have excellent options, are user repairable, and fun to
operate. A lot like TenTec used to be.
I have owned two Corsair-II's, two OMNI-6+ transceivers, a Hercules-II
and a Titan-III, and these rigs were pure joy over the many years I
had them. I also have a current OMNI-7. But the TenTec company I loved
is history. While the new TenTec struggles to find its identity,
product line and service strategy, Elecraft is an excellent stand in.
I own a K1, KX3, K3, KPA500, KAT500, P3 and all have been a joy to
operate.
