I don't understand the "shock" at the K4 pricing. If you "load-up" a K3S with all the options you'd have to buy that are included in the K4, AND add a P3, with VGA & transmit monitor, I think you'll find the K4 is a BARGAIN!

Hi Gary, We sold the last K3S, I believe, but we'll have a number of upgraded, fully warranted K3's available for purchase on the web site sometime soon. Some were used for DXpeditions. > Was there a reason why the K3s was discontinued? Yes; we felt it was time to create a new, hybrid SDR with a large, integrated touch screen and virtually unlimited hardware/software expansion capability. The K3/K3S had a good run -- over 12 years. During that time we created many options and accessories and released dozens of free firmware upgrades. Everything we learned from that experience, plus a lot of new R&D, is being incorporated into the K4. (It's an exciting radio. For me, every morning it's a battle of wills to stop playing with it and get my work done :) We're looking forward to getting the K4 into customers' hands. Our suppliers are coming back on line. And so are we ... but we're prioritizing the health of our staff, which requires some heroics from the facilities department. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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 pin...@erols.com ______________________________________________________________ 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
