Look for an SGC powercube. I have one and it works well, you need to find a used one. They may be starting to make them again shortly.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and whats next from Elecraft

A new product I would love to see would be a 500 watt mobile/12 VDC amp ...
although that would be a very small niche
in ham radio and probably low sales. Just thinking out loud here.

Wayne and Eric have repeatedly said than any "K4-style" improvements will be retrofittable to the K3. Here is Wayne's response to a recent thread on the subject: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Wait-For-The-K4-Direct-RF-Sampled-SDR-tp7571211p7571223.html

Given the fact that the "big three" bring out new radios every couple of years, it's understandable to wonder why there is no K4. It seems that Wayne and Eric's business model doesn't include soaking people for the price of a new model when suitable improvements can be made to an existing platform. To me, this is a good thing. The fact that there haven't been any firmware updates recently is also good thing- it means that the K3 is inching ever closer to being a mature product.

I don't think you'll have to worry about seeing your new K3 replaced by a K4 in a couple of weeks.

Hi All

I have been reading the mail here for some time while I debate the purchase of a K3 in my head. I can't help to notice the lack of subjects covering the K3 and the lack of new firmware in over 4 months.


Would if be fair to think that development has finished on the K3 and that now all the accessories(amp,P3,ATU,ect) are in place, also the KX3 and matching amp are out there, Have the good people in Elecraft moved on to develop a new radio a K4 maybe ????

Nothing worse than getting something new only for it to be replaced by a newer model a few weeks after getting it.

  Thanks
