How does the Triton 4 digital compare against the Elecraft K3
in your opinion?

Not at all. the Triton 4 is around 30 years old. It is very different
in operation, instead of being a computer that has a radio wrapped around it,
it is just the radio. The only thing digital is the frequency readout, and
just in case you don't like it, there is an analog scale on the tuning knob.

As for sound, it's just pure clean sound, with no noise from all the digital
electronics inside. The oscilator is a PTO (a brass slug moving in a coil),
so if your hand is steady enough, you can tune it exactly to match the
frequency of the sending station.

The K3 has very fine tuning and it may not be noticably different.

The Triton 4 has true QSK, you can hear any time the transmitter is not
actually sending carrier in CW mode.
