Don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of all things Elecraft. As far as I am concerned Eric and Wayne are geniuses - and I mean that. I have been a K1, 2 and 3 owner. Elecraft is the best. I am only making a product suggestion and it is for more than a bigger box with bigger knobs (although that is part of the suggestion). I am suggesting an integrated station with power supply, amp, maybe a front firing speaker all in one box. One option would put a P3 in the speaker hole. Its all modular, so you can put what you want in the box. Its a different product built around the already fabulous K3 platform. As for portability, I would rather have everything in one case than a bunch of smaller pieces to pack up and haul. Such a radio would blow away the competition. One can dream, no?

Apparently the summer silly season is upon us? The ergonomics of the K3 are just fine the way they are. If one wants a bigga box, write to Magnavox or some furniture manufacturer. I am an ancient and decrepit 77 years old with bad peripheral neuropathy and big fingers, and nevertheless have no trouble turning knobs or pushing buttons on the K3. Kudos to the designers of the machine, who took size into account along with operating specifications. I wonder how the whiners manage to type? Maybe they should ask for double-sized keyboards?
