That's the sad part - how does one get the "feeling" just by looking at a
pretty picture, assembly manual with no schematics and a bunch of beta testers
who are probably biased to the elecraft products anyway?
My guess is that they (elecraft) will wait until enough orders are placed
before they release the numbers :-PPP (it's a joke so relax, I am not seeking
to be excommunicated from the Church of Elecraft :-)
My personal decision is to start even considering the K3 and eventually place
an order AFTER I see the schematics (when btw?), real performance numbers as
result of 3rd party lab test and reviews from unbiased users.
That's how I based my decision to order my K2/100 (I am happy with it btw).
This on the other hand is not a K2. What also bothered me is that Elecraft
promised the radio too early (probably because of Dayton) and now is chasing
deadlines due to inpatient customers ("chasing deadlines' more often than not
equals "cutting corners").
I've seen good and bad radios coming from one and the same company (Yaesu,
Icom, Ten-Tec, you name it) so I wouldn’t jump and dump few thousands dollars
into a black box, just because everyone says it is going to great.
If you leave the guys (Wayne and Eric) alone to work I think it would be for
the best. They have as much interest in delivering the radio as the ones who
are waiting for it.
My 2 cents.
