Wow! So you want more marketing hype to separate you from you money than just continuous incremental improvements?
You want Elecraft to go back to the 1950;'s of automobile marketing and come out with a flashy change that looks different every year rather than just improve the subassenblies one at a time as the technology improves?
The K3 isn't "an old product" but rather a top notch product with only small areas for improvement over time.
Isn't it great that the K3 is modular and the subassemblies can be upgraded without needing t o buy a whole new rig?
I applaud Elecraft for sticking to a great product and slowly improving it. Some of the new upgrades seem worthwhile to my needs and I may take advantage of them. But I would never spend the money on a totally new rig that only had small, marginal improvements over what I have.
Personally, I like Elecraft's way of doing things! Thanks guys! Ken WA8JXM On 16/05/2015 08:21, GDR wrote:
It seems a disappointment that the newest Elecraft product is in fact, an old product upgraded to current modification state and given a different paint job and a new knob. I was hoping to see a totally new, interesting gizmo that would inspire me to rob the piggy bank or sell my K3 to fund the K4 (imaginary) replacement. I have noticed an increase in the number of K3's offered for sale the last couple of days. I'll wait for the K4 (or?) and hope it isn't seven years away.
