[Elecraft] K3 Questions ..... Delay Product?
I am suggesting that we all STOP sending in list questions about what the K3 has, does, or will have - and let the design/production team - get the product finished. This is not the time, to try to influence changes in a product - that hasn't even hit the streets yet! I'd like to think, that my K3 kit will get shipped in July 2007. And if we nickle and dime Elecraft's design/manufacturing/production/sales team to death --- that won't happen. I remember in the past 12 months, when we submitted questions about a possible K3 future Elecraft product - the 90% predominant response was ... we don't need another transceiver product, the K2 is super, and just fine for us all! Now that the reality of a K3 is almost upon us - let's let them get it out the door! I've asked some dumb questions in the near past - and I promise myself, and Elecraft, not to ask any more K3 QUESTIONS - and let the team do their immediate job - that of getting the K3 out the door, with documentation, and all the options. 73's de Fred N3CSY Need Mail bonding?

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Questions ..... Delay Product?
That's a valid concern, but I bet it really isn't a risk. I'm trusting that the folks at Elecraft are focused on getting the K3 done and are not letting the reflector discussion get in the way of that. Today's businesses can't survive if they don't have a clear focus and focus means they know when to ignore something and just get 'er done. The running back ignores the mosquitoes as he sprints toward the goal line. What bugs me about the Q's is they keep producing answers that sound fabulous and have greatly weakened my I don't need a K3 position. 73 Fred the group! - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - -Original Message- I'd like to think, that my K3 kit will get shipped in July 2007.

fabulous and have greatly weakened my I don't need a K3 position. Do you realize the Basic K3/100 is about what my Kenwood TS 520S cost in 1979? 640.00 in '79 is 1,816.07 in '07. That should destroy your I don't need a K3 position. Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Questions ..... Delay Product?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I agree. Seems the last week to 10 days the reflector has been nothing but suggestions on how to improve a product which hasn't even gone into production yet. The K3 is what it is. There seems to be a lot of suggestions aimed at turning the K3 into the Elecraft version of some other rig. (Orion, IC-7800, FTDX 9000, etc...) I for one am happy that Elecraft in their wisdom haven't fallen into the trap of trying to produce a transceiver which does everything, and in the end does everything with mediocrity.
