[TenTec] Off Topic, sort of

[Mike Bryce]

They had one down at the four days in may qrp gathering at dayton

it's not bad looking at all. in fact, it has a much better fit and  
finish than the K2

the k2, to me at least, always had that homebrew look to it.

I'm wondering if others have found the photo of Elecraft's
forthcoming K-3 to reveal an ugly radio? Is the color really some
sort of tepid yellow/brown with what appear to be parts bin front
panel controls?

It seems to me over the years that Ten-Tec has paid a lot of
attention to appearance/ergonomics, and both the OMNI VII and the
Argo V rate very highly in my book. (A TS-870S is not bad, either.)
Part of enjoying ham radio is having a pleasant experience using the
rig, and from the looks of it, you may have to get past the looks of
the K-3 before you can enjoy it.
