[Elecraft] K2 accessibility, via the KRC2

[Jack Brindle]

Thanks for the nice words guys. But before we get carried away, we are  
not yet ready to unleash the KRC2 Accessibility Upgrade on the world.  
We are in the final phases of the development cycle, and should be out  
of it shortly. We want to make sure that everything is in place,  
including the manual...

So, before everyone starts pining for one of these neat goodies, please  
just wait a little bit longer. We will let you know within the next few  
weeks as to its availability and how to obtain the upgrade. And please  
don't start bugging Lisa, Scott and the folks as to when you can get  
the upgrade. Rest assured, it will be soon.

In the meantime you may have to put up with some of the testers leaking  
out info on some of the things you have been waiting for. We may just  
have to put them in charge of the "pre-announcement announcements..."
