I had already paid for mine before they decided to add the LPF in to
the deal, so I suspect you are correct Julian. Don't know if they initially
were going to offer the LPF as a customer DIY add on, or if they decided it
might be better if they did the work in house to eleviate too many failures.
It was probably easier for them all around taking the option they
did.

I suspect that the price increase reflected the addition of the LPF board,
and the short window of opportunity for purchasing the DSP+LPF at the old
price was the time it took for Elecraft to realise they would be losing
money on the deal. The $69 was really just for the Rev. C board swap without
the LPF. I don't know if anyone actually got one of those, or whether
Elecraft delayed fulfilling the orders until the LPF was ready and decided
not to ask those who had already paid fro an extra $20.
