Howard, Methinks you may be confusing concepts in your thinking. Something may be complete and 100% functional and still be improved upon, may it not? Users will dream of new features and improvements to existing features.
As a software engineer that idea surely is not foreign to you. The only thing Elecraft has not done is low-ball the initial price to "hook" us and then charge exhorbitantly for the new features/ updates - a rampant software practice. That some of the improvements to the K3 may involve opening it up and applying a soldering iron makes the K3 more appealing to some of us - I understand, not to you. Those who wish can send their K3s back to Elecraft for the updates. In this realm anything finished is dead. It means no further improvements/capabilities can be added. Who else would want that radio?
