RSGB, unlike ARRL, does not buy products for review. Review products are loaned free of charge by dealers or manufacturers (this practise in common with all UK magazines I am aware of - and I worked for several years as an editor and then freelance reviewer for computer publications.)
I think the only reviews of Elecraft products that have appeared to date have been written by people known to the RSGB committee who bought them for their own use. (I wrote and submitted a review of the T1 ATU a few years ago but despite a favourable initial reaction from the then editor it was never published.) If Elecraft wants a RadCom review of a K3 someone needs to arrange for Peter Hart to receive the loan of one. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
