Spending development effort, time, and money on a product for a limited
or highly competitive market doesn't keep any company financially
sound. It does just the opposite. I'm not saying whether a very
portable all-mode VHF/UHF rig falls into that category or not, but I'll
bet it's a decision that Elecraft has already made one way or the other.

I, for one, have no interest in a KPA500. I'm a QRP guy. But I can
sure appreciate the design and engineering that appeals to it's many
owners. Same for the K3, and the P3. I'm glad they exist, even
though I don't play to buy one.
However, even if a rig like an all mode V/UHF is not your cup of
tea... it still might be a viable product. And additional products
help expand the customer base for Elecraft, and keep it financially
sound, which is good for all customers.
