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

[Marinos Markomanolakis, M.D.]

Hi Guys,
Let me re-phrase my original proposal / suggestion about a "K3" design with 
all the features mentioned in my original post:
Lets assume that Elecraft had the K2 as we know it, and a "K3" more 
expensive kit with all the "useless" accessories (IF notch, PBT, general HF 
coverage, preselector, no birdies etc). Also assume that the "K3"s 
performance and specs were equally good to the basic K2 and its price not 
prohibitive.

How many of us would choose the K2 as the main rig over the "K3" ?? Would 
the average ham out there resist the urge of owing such a (K3) rig that 
he/she built himself instead of a ready made box with inferior basic 
performance ?

My estimation would be not too many, but I may be wrong.
