Keith I don't think anything is being "held back". Everything (HW and SW) in the K3 can be modified as has been demonstrated numerous times (e.g. most notably replacing the entire DSP board). I believe Wayne is just saying that upgradability of existing units is a key consideration in their thinking (as opposed to Japan's Big 3). I only wish more manufacturers thought the same way. 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/A-Rob-Sherwood-s-talk-in-Dayton-tp7574814p7574842.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
