[Elecraft] Can Elecraft take over the global HF ham radio business ?

[Julian, G4ILO]

Do you think Icom has not sold 5,000 PRO III's? I find that surprising. 
I have worked more 756PROs than K2s.

I'm surprised that it would even be profitable to make such a rig in 
such small numbers. The bells and whistles probably add more to the R&D 
cost than the basic RF engineering, and I think there are a lot more 
custom made parts in it.

Ham Radio would like to sell 5,000 units.  I am sure
ICOM would like to sell that many PRO IIIs.  Five
thousand units is not a small amount in the business.
