[Elecraft] FT-950 Elite-Class 100 W HF/50 MHz Transceiver announcement

[J F]

I concur Jay, and I suspect the price will be brutal,
not to mention the options.

The option that sounded interesting was the DMU, due
to  the O'scope feature.

I found the timing of the announcement interesting. If
I win it at SECDCO, I might even give it a try... 
Nahhhh ;o) The K3 is it fer me!
