[Elecraft] KPLUS (K3) Needed .....

[John Reiser]

In my humble opinion, we don't need a K3.  I'm perfectly content with the K2 
as it is.  It does evrything I need from a rig, and does it well.  I would 
probably never use the stuff people want to add.  (By the way, besides being 
a QRPer and CW man, I'm an advanced DXer.)

I am in awe of the engineering that went into the K2.  For one thing, just 
look at the way the case fits together.

If I had one nit-pick, I wish the ad-hoc point to point wiring of some 
components (key click filter, etc.) were not necessary.

 73,

John, W2GW

K2/100 #5570, K2/100 #4970, K1 #2105, KX1 #1258, KAT100, etc.
