[Elecraft] Announcing the Elecraft K3 Transceiver: 10/100W,

[JohnK1JD]

Wonderful news! Been looking forward to this since a "we can neither confirm 
or deny..." discussion with Elecraft at Dayton years ago in regards to a 
future K3 - or was it going to be called the Everest? Now we know.  I was 
looking forward to solder fumes but this is still very exciting and can't 
wait to have one in the shack.

An Achilles heel of some SDR's been software longevity and stability, with 
some folks driven away from otherwise excellent radios due to system crashes 
and other quirks. Since at least one (think domestic)manufacturer has had 
significant user issues with their SDR, it would be interesting to hear from 
someone on the design team who could comment on the K3's software 
architecture and what longevity/stability testing has been done to date.

Thanks & 73,
John K1JD
