With the ATU, TCXO and a roofing filter, the (K3) price is around
$2000. An IC-703 might run around $1000, an FT-817 around $870.

For a comparable setup, the FT-817 would need something like an LDG Z817
20 Watt autotuner. This would bring the cost to around $1000.

A comparably equipped K2 kit might run around $1300.
