[Elecraft] selling other radios in favor of a K2

[Gary D Krause]

Yes but, the neat thing about the K3 is that you don't need to order one fully 
loaded.  You can add to it as you go.  Also, I doubt that anyone would even 
need one fully loaded with all the options.

I don't really feel bad because, I would have had to wait if I had ordered it. 
 I can still order one but, I want to see how it is receeived by the ham 
population first.  Also, I have some reservations about the future of ham 
radio but, that's another subject.

So, in the meantime we can enjoy our K2 and Orion II while the rest sweat it 
out. :-)
