Well Jim If elecraft are so rich then after chalking out over 3k sterling for my full loaded .....ish k3 then do you think they could perhaps post me a nice Red cap and k3 button! Their are now 3 of us in my club, Newbury RC, who have k3's and none of us have ever seen a gorgous k3 cap let alone wear one. Perhaps though, elecraft could include a cap and or button with each new radio sold so wearing their logo with pride!!
PS....my club are in the process of ditching their contest x2 FT2k, and buying k3's.
