It's easy to see why, having owned the K3/P3 for a long time, one of the 
radios whose features this one tries (and fails badly) to emulate. It's 
billed as an SDR with knobs plus a touch screen spectrum display. All 
that's true, sort of, but the display is too small for the touch 
function to work very well. If you want the features of an SDR with the 
performance of a real radio, you've got to aim a LOT higher. There's a 
reason that the Flex and Elecraft radios cost as much as they do.

I don't see the 7600 as a step up -- among other things, it's fairly 
dirty transmitting CW. I've got a neighbor 10 miles away using one who 
makes my life miserable. I see the Kenwood TS590 rigs as the best bang 
for the buck NEW radio today. I think a used Orion II or K3 is an 
awfully good deal.
