No, this is a case of "not invented here" -

I'm not saying the Elecraft group did not do a good job in rolling
out the K3. Like Jerry, Dic
Hello Joe!
Please be assured that we appreciate your thoughtful and constructive

Hi Joe,

Practically since the introduction of ALC (Collins?)
in transmitter systems and external amplifiers, ALC was negative
and modern solid state transceivers have maintained compatibility
with that "standard" even though it would have been easier if the
(external) ALC was positive.

It would be really cool if somebody could make a video showing the front panel
of the radio (with good video resolution) while it is in actual operation
during weak-signal reception, so we can see/hear how the adjustments relate to
readability. I'm interested in both CW and SSB, but particularly
Okay Jerry - I was attempting to address problems in
quality assurance with a newly introduced radio, maybe
you feel this falls in that category as well, it
wouldn't really for me. But good enough, the issue got
lots of milage so it's certainly "out there" now. 73,

It looks like the K3 will be with us for a long time to come. At least I
hope so. I have heard several on in recent contests, and they sound good.
I hope to be able to purchase one after the dust settles. Perhaps in 2013
(hi hi). I hope that the K4 doesn't come along anytime soon.
73,
Guess there is an advantage to having an amp (like the ACOM 2000a)
that upon a fault condition like a bad coax,,,high swr shuts itself
into a "fault" standby modesuch as happened when i was feeding a
bad 80 meter feed line.
This rather than relying on an exterior component ( on an ALC

That's useful information. If the K3 band select lines can tolerate
12V pullups,
They can.
