[Elecraft] K3

[Rajiv Dewan, N2RD]

A significant portion of the functionality of K3 is software  
defined.  Elecraft has already indicated this will be 'one-click'  
updateable using WinXP.   These kinds of modern radios can really be  
modified significantly by software alone.  Consider the improvements  
in Ten-Tec's Orion and Flex-Radio's SDR-100o over their 2/3 three  
year lifespan.  Both of them are significantly better than when they  
were introduced.  Now throw in the super customer responsive culture  
of Elecraft and we can safely predict that the K3 will be steadily  
and significantly upgraded on a continual basis.

Regards,
Raj, N2RD
K2 #5613 and K3 on order.
