Because that is precisely what Elecraft did deliver in the early days of the K3 - both the "fun" part and the "more radio". The early adopters purchased the K3 with a lot of rough edges, on the explicit understanding that there would be ongoing firmware upgrades; and for a while, Elecraft delivered on that promise. We did get more radio than we had originally purchased because that was part of the bargain. While major features were still being worked on, K3 owners were happy to cut Elecraft some slack about numerous issues of lower priority. We were content with Elecraft's acknowledgement that "It's on the list". The cause for disquiet now is that the K3 upgrade process has tapered off prematurely. As Elecraft's attention has turned to other products, many of those "on the list" issues remain unaddressed. So the answer to your question, "Is the K3 less 'fun' today than it was two years ago?" is: "Yes". I still wouldn't trade my K3 for anything else, but the fun of ownership is being replaced by disappointment that the K3 still has not reached its full potential. 73 from Ian GM3SEK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
