"However, all three changes could have been incorporated in the K3 for pennies in parts instead of requiring user modifications or add on boxes with just a little market research beyond the tight-knit group of insiders who do not push the operating envelope." <snip>
That seems to be the knock whenever one of the FT1000MP or IC756Pro features or connections does not find the same implementation on the K3. Where's the band scope, the band stacking registers, the physical SIZE ??? ;-) I'm not sure it's fair to go toe to toe with Japan Inc. on every specific feature ever put into an FT1000MP, while at the same time expecting the kind of innovation that's in the K3. I'd suggest that Elecraft probably spent as much time engineering the K3 for their original fan base at milliwatt levels as they did to provide QRO provisions. I promise you some fanatic is going to take the K3 camping in their backpack. Tree huggers - sigh. ;-) The beauty of the reflector, and the two guys, is that you can ask and be 100% assured that you are being heard. 73, Don. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
