My thoughts exactly. I has hoping for a calm productive discussion. I agree with Buck, ideally all of these components would weight the same or less than they do now. Marketing this GREAT radio to a new radiance that want that big box all in one radio. Like the guys that buy DX-9000s and IC-7800s. 10-12,000 pop! I think those users would be happier with a big box K3 and they dont even know it. But they refuse to look at the K3 because they want the band scope built in or some thing else.
So, I've said more than my peace. Elecraft if you ever build a larger case count me In. -- Nicholas W.

I should have called it the K3Pro or + or Field. The idea was to explore what might happen if a K3+ included a built in power supply, amplifier, P3, speaker etc. And as a result of the bigger box, larger knobs and buttons. It's the same great radio packaged to a different concept to appeal to different users. I don't think a K3+ equipped as described would weigh one ounce more than 4 or 5 discreet boxes containing the same components. It would probably weigh less and take up less room. Now, I'm sorry I brought it up. No good deed goes unpunished. k4ia "Buck" Fredericksburg, VA K3 #101 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
