Hi Tom,
I doubt Elecraft will abandon the K3, or 3s. Why? All the owners of
K4's, (and any later rigs), would start to apply that to the "Do I need
to purchase a $5K radio, that will not be supported, after a new model
comes out", thought process... Hams have long memories... Elecraft is
Tom and all,
Elecraft still offers service on its legacy gear - KX1, K1, K2,
XVseries, so as long as repair parts are available, you can expect
service will be available for the K3/K3S in a similar manner.

I don't think that linkage necessarily holds water. I think it makes
sense for Elecraft to stop selling upgrades (after one last round) so
they can focus their attention on producing K4s. On the other hand,
maintenance issues may reflect staff shortages, but those are
remediable, and it
Given the termination of options and upgrades, I’m concerned that the same
thing will happen to K3/K3S service and repair. There are a lot of us here in
customer land that will need that capability well into the future, therefore
it’s loss or diminishment would adversely affect lots of folks.
I read the message (in Digest form) 15 minutes before the closeout period.
I phoned Elecraft with a question. I'd already ordered parts on their "wish
list" a long time ago.
Apparently, Elecraft delayed the closing of the order period as some people
had trouble determining what they needed or to
Madelyn,
Thank you for the update. Does this mean, for those of us who already
ordered, we can expect our upgrade kita/components soon?
Thanks and 73,
