[Elecraft] Random thoughts from a K3 Field Tester

[Clark Macaulay]

Wow...after the last week's series of comments from some who have become far too aggravated as they wait for their K3 and questioning the integrity of Elecraft, this is a breath of fresh air.  Thanks, Bob, for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience. For those that don't of W9KNI, Bob is one of the top DXers in the world and has published what for me is the finest book on getting started in DXing, "The Complete DXer" and a died-in-the-wool K2 advocate.  
   
  I'm enjoying all of the excitement about the K3 even though I haven't (and can't) order one.  It's not very often that all of can share in the field testing/revision/product launch of what may the most impactful product annoucement for in many years: exceptional performance at a price that many can afford (if they sell a few of their 'other' rigs!).  So, while I don't read all of the K3 posts, I do read a lot of them just to stay tuned to the buzz.  
   
  I am a NEW K2 user: just put #6110 on the air a few weeks ago and am still building some of the options.  So, I sort through the digest version of the daily message, pick out the ones I want to read, and move on.  No muss, no fuss (man...that's dating myself).  So, from my perspective, keep the K3 buzz coming and let me enjoy, from a distance, the excitement of the K3 while I learn and use the K2.  Maybe someday my K2 will have a big brother/sister...
