[Elecraft] Why I don't want a K3

[Gary D Krause]

Ever since the K3 was announced this reflector has been buzzing with questions 
and speculation about the K3.  It has been dissected, picked apart, put back 
together, etc.  I feel like I know it inside and out and I don't even own one 
yet!  In fact, I'm pretty bored with it.  I'm about ready to put my imaginary 
K3 up for sale.  It does all the stuff you guys say it does and even better. 
 So, what's next? :-)

Just kidding!  We are all like a bunch of little kids about a week before 
Christmas.  I'm still building my K2 and I already want a K3!

It will be interesting to see what kind of a ripple the K3 creates in the HF 
market.  Will the other manufacturers respond?  When?  Will they up the bar a 
couple of notches?  Have they been holding back?  Will they re-think their 
designs?  Will they adopt the modular approach?  It's going to be interesting. 
 I think Elecraft has really opened up the flood gates and I hope that they 
are very successful.  I know that I will be ordering a K3 for sure.
