Given that, I don't think that even Burt Rutan would consider adapting a VariEze (K2) or a Starship (K3) into an AirBus form factor ... Seems like a bad choice for an example. Burt did create the Long-EZ, a larger version of the VariEze. Mark On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 1:18 PM, Steve Harvey

Well said...I never once wanted to move my FTdx9000D, except out the door when I found a buyer. The heat generated by these big box radios, the weight, the physical size etc, all these make the radio impractical for portable use. The large screen display provided by these high end radios are not

It seems to be that a bigger K3 is a different radio then the K3 and should be called something different. No, not even K3A or whatever. I probably would not buy one though. I like my K3 as it is. If there is some great new technology that is embraced by Elecraft that does not fit the K3,
