I'm the OP and I'm never mistaken :-) This is actually humorous in a strange sort of way. Someone makes a well-intentioned suggestion for a change that will improve the performance of the radio and the "Elecraft can do no wrong and I'm perfectly happy with mine" contingent leaps to conclusions that it's a "complaint."
I can say without reservation that my (and others') K3 is a *much* better radio now than it was a year ago when I first put it into operation and some of that is due to my "complaints." I suggest that when someone starts to think "complaint", they replace that thought with, "free engineering."
