With the K3 being as good as is said, and the predictions on this list about the demand for it, Elecraft needs a good business consultant and a big loan from the bank. Elecraft is now competing with the big players, not filling a niche in the kit market. A bad business practice is not being able to meet the demand, unless the product is unique. The K3 is unique so far, but I suspect Icom and Vertex Standard have noticed. Unless some aspect of the K3 that makes it better than the competition's can be patented, Elecraft is going to have a small window of time in which to sell the K3, and rely heavily on customer loyalty.
