Note that the Japanese manufacturers sell many radios with different
feature sets at different price points. If you decide you need a feature
that's not in your radio, you usually have to buy a new one. Elecraft, for
20+ years, has sold only a few radios, each with a variety of optional
features.
the last date of manufacture for any particular
discontinued model. No word, yet, though, on how long things like an
Internet-connected head unit (radio) needs to be kept updated.

Thanks Eric. I suspected this, especially the continued support. Elecraft
has done an excellent job of not obsoleting older radios. I own three K3Ss
and it's comforting to hear the official word.

Our current plan is to keep the K3S in the product line as long as demand is
sufficient to economically produce it. We are certainly still shipping new K3S
orders weekly and have sufficient parts inventory to keep manufacturing them at
this time. We also are still strongly supporting existing

YES! The K2, for example, is still being sold. The only radios that they
have discontinued are ones for which they could no longer buy parts, and
the original K3, which was replaced by the K3S.
The Japanese manufacturers are far larger than Elecraft. In any case,
similarly configured, the K4 is supposed to be less expensive than the K3S.

Will the K3s continue to be sold? The Japanese manufacturers sell
several radios at different price points with different specifications.
Would it be able and profitable for Elecraft to keep the K3s in production?
