[Elecraft] K3: "secret" hardware changes?

[David Wilburn]

But based on past events, Elecraft has always worked out an acceptable 
  and equitable solution to these issues.  I say leave them alone and 
let them handle their business.  When they have a solution, they will 
present it.  Till then folks are getting themselves worked up over 
events they cannot control.

 From W.W. Bartley

     For every ailment under the sun
     There is a remedy, or there is none;
     If there be one, try to find it;
     If there be none, never mind it.
