The amplifiers were delayed for a time when new FCC regulations came out 
which permitted operation on 10/12 meters out of the box as long as 
certain other frequencies were blocked (and I think some other things).

In my opinion, this meant that the amps and the K3 would be coming at 
more or less the same time.  Elecraft has limited resources, the K3 is a 
far more important product, and so the introduction of the amps was 
delayed again.
