Yes, this is true for now.  Can't say what additional options might appear
in the future.  It just wasn't practical to define more option modules
beyond the eight major ones already introduced.  So, some features were
necessarily combined.  Given the overall juggling challenge among all the K3
features, I think Elecraft did an exceptional job.  Remember, too, that the
range of customers and usage scenarios is tremendous.  Launching the
currently introduced K3 with all its options is a monumental task, and
particularly impressive by a relatively small company like Elecraft.  They
make up for number of employs by working very smart and very hard, hi!
