Thanks, Mike - I fell prey to the old fallacy - "if I haven't seen it, it must not exist."  That said, I'd love to see something more up-to-date. It has always intrigued me that the KPA-1500 took so long to actually enter the market, having seen a prototype at Dayton about 10 years (or so) ago. And of course, we're all waiting for the K4.

I still view Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine" as the best example ever of close-up technological narrative.

Pete,

In 2011 Wayne wrote up a nice history.  An Elecraft wikipedia page points to it, and I put it on a web page here:

http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/history/ <http://udel.edu/%7Emm/ham/elecraft/history/>

Just ignore the graph up top.  Out of date ponderings!

Maybe Wayne & Eric can flesh it out, update where needed, and put it on elecraft.com <http://elecraft.com>.  :-)

    It strikes me that an article, or even a book about this would be
    welcome.  Or has it already been done?  If so, a reference would
    be appreciated.
