[Elecraft] K3 list?

[ab7r at cablespeed.com]

Please kill this before it starts!!!  This has been discussed time and time again.  Eric is busy with K3 
stuff so I just wanted to step in here to cut down additional traffic that will serve no purpose.  This 
reflector is the vehicle chosen by Elecraft for two-way communication for all their products.
