Just a thought? How about Elecraft produce an external accessory that provides a band scope, spectrum analyser and any other "toys" they think appropriate so that those of us who do NOT require such toys can enjoy our K3's and allow Elecraft to work on release of various other products such as the KPA-800/1500 amplifiers?
I would like to see Elecraft go down this road rather than try to cram some of the rather strange features we see posted on the reflector as "wish it had this" instead of accepting that the K3 was not designed to knock off radios such as the FTdx9000D, IC-7800 etc..etc. These radios are full of features that go mostly unused when you sit down and watch the owner actually use these radios. I sold my 9000D as I never used the majority of the features anyway. I can also add that the band scope and audio trace (receive only) on the 9000D is pretty hopeless, totally inaccurate and the host of items on the menu list are near impossible to read with anything much less than normal 20/20 vision. I have yet to find another radio that beats the K3 in all areas that the K3 does well. The receiver is tops, the audio reports are great and for field and shack use the K3 stands apart from all the rest. Just a couple of cents worth...(given the exchange rate lately it is more likely a 1/2 cents worth) 73's Gary K3 S/N 679 I just got lost in thought............. It was unfamiliar territory
