Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - Annoying (followup)
Hey guys,
Please accept my apologies to anyone that read my post
as anything other than tongue in cheek (foot in
mouth?)
I'm new here on the Elecraft list, but if you've read
my posts elsewhere you'll find them to be optimistic
if nothing else, and the little ;-) always means
meant in a joking manner, or far from the truth. I
do it often.
So sorry for adding to the noise, I'm ultra excited
about having a new radio here in the K3 and
appreciative beyond words that they seem to have
thought thought of nearly anything that any group
could want. That means contesters, QRP'ers, dx'ers, AM
dudes and 6 meter types (you know who you are) ;-)
And they got started on the project early so when the
K3 was introduced, it was not done so by placing a
marketing glossy under a glass lid at Dayton which in
my mind is unpardonable.
Also, I have one ordered, and as I understand it they
are selling finished radios and July is not the
beginning of some large beta test that often follows
when the radio actually progresses beyond the glossy
stage.
These guys are showing everyone in the business how
it should be done - that's my story and I'm sticking
to it!

Not annoying at all - great that they have such a fine
new product to offer. Jeez!

Anyone else find it interesting that the K3 has been
in the works for several years (even while other major
stuff was being rolled out) and wonder So what's in
the works -right now- that nobody knows about?.
It could be the tuning pod/keypad thing, a bandscope,
analog S-meter, or anything else that has been asked
for in the K3.
Could it be the K4 they are working on already? !!!
Given the past history with Elecraft transceivers,
they would be working on something smaller than the K1
after the K3. This would be what... the K .5 ??? (the
one half K) or maybe the K- (K negative) or maybe the
Elecraft nano.
I'd like to see a kit that provides single press
actions for operations they didn't have room to
include on the front panel of the K3. If I designed
it, it would look like a combination of a rock band's
mixer board and an 18 wheel truck on its side. They
haven?t asked for my help on this yet. ;-)
Chances are, whatever you ask for however, the guys
have already done some fiddling with the idea and
maybe they?re even working on it. How annoying is
that-?
