I think the problem (well, one of the problems; there are several) is
that they don't, in reality, have a Beta test; they go from Alpha

Before someone calls for a big Elecraft Group Hug...
As long as I have my K3, I'll wish that it allowed me to directly
switch to the band I want, rather than have to sequence up/down, or
program memories, which still requires two keystrokes.
Same with the mode.

Hi Bill -
Cooling is also accomplished with sink area, which is how some of
the other manufacturer's have (claimed) to accomplish it. Cast
aluminum, and all that. As I said, it works, no doubt. More power

necessarily true.
After experimenting around with only the 2.8 kHz filter for SSB, I
decided that I didn't like the way the DSP version of the 1.8 kHz
bandwidth sounded; it had a slight ringiness to it. I

If you're uncomfortable with the purchase, don't go through with it;
you'll end up resenting the radio on your desktop every time there's
another expense that you would had the money for, if only you hadn't
purchased the K3.
These radios will be available for a long time, although the
