I agree.

Seems the last week to 10 days the reflector has been nothing but
suggestions on how to "improve" a product which hasn't even gone into
production yet. The K3 is what it is. There seems to be a lot of
suggestions aimed at turning the K3 into the Elecraft version of some
other rig. (Orion, IC-7800, FTDX 9000, etc...)

I for one am happy that Elecraft in their wisdom haven't fallen into the
trap of trying to produce a transceiver which does everything, and in
the end does everything with mediocrity.
