K3 is a "consensus-derived SDR" The larger the K3 community grows the harder it will become to get consensus about it's FW. I think this is giving Elecraft a hard time as well as a good laugh (I hope).
The danger is that consensus gets disturbed by lobbying and shouting. That might drive K3 into a niche corner where it shouldn't be. Also I hope Elecraft won't rest too much on it's review-laurels. Don't focus too much on expansion, first strive for perfection in K3's core-functionality. Personally I think it won't be too long until other companies also drop their 1st IF roofing frequencies or switch to direct sampling HF SDR and get very comparable RF/IMD/DR results in a similar package. It will be a lot harder to still excell if you didn't refine "the small stuff". (UI,audio,eq,memory handling, etc) for a wide variety of users. 73' Paul PD0PSB -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-firmware-2-years-on-and-still-much-to-do-tp3674523p3676876.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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
