Well, I would call that maybe harsh, and for sure commercially unrealistic.
We do not pay for firmware changes, while Wayne's employees have to be paid every week, the rent paid every month, etc. ad nauseum. So, even though there was a lot of improvement needed from version zero of the K3, we are far on the other side of having the K3 quite good enough to sell as is. A K3 firmware change entirely for the K3 only has become pretty rare. Most are integration work for the entire K-Line. We have gotten as much as we have because we supplied the hard testing and allowed a gradual implementation. Wayne has followed a change regimen that provided an amazing collection of improvements. He certainly leveraged all that into the KX3 Myself, I can't honestly think that Wayne owes me anything at all. If he does throw out some stuff, that's really neat. But at this point anything else he does for the K3 is far beyond the call of duty. No other ham manufacturer is even in the same order of magnitude as Elecraft responsiveness. I can wish and make polite, respectful requests. But IMHO to insinuate that Wayne has some remaining unfulfilled duty to the K3 that he *must* supply is unrealistic at best. 73, Guy. ______________________________________________________________ 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
