I would class the K3 as a "Middle Aged Product", a great deal of the
originally planned capabilities and adjunct gizmos [KPA500, P3, KAT500,
transverters] now exist, most have for some time, and the FW updates are
tending more and more to small tweaks, occasional fixes, and responses

I am also a single lever paddle user. There must be others who also prefer a

It would be nice if a single lever paddle version of the KXPD3 was
available. I don't own a KX3, at least yet :), but this might be enough to
push me off the fence.

This would be a good slogan for Elecraft to use as a selling point.
In all fairness, though, this applies to pretty much any SDR-based radio.

As outside observer, it seems the K3 is more of a process than a
product. I doubt it will ever be a finished product, with a static list

Instead, one buys into an ongoing, organic, developing process. It has
never been "finished" and likely never will. You eit

I greatly appreciate the work Wayne and others do to enhance existing
products while developing new products.
As for the squeaky wheel method of prioritization, I often refrain from
sending "me too" e-mails when I see a feature or product request that

Hi all,
Our firmware task lists are sorted by priority. Determination of Priority is

Well, I would call that maybe harsh, and for sure commercially unrealistic.
We do not pay for firmware changes, while Wayne's employees have to be paid
