[Elecraft] TRANSLATION: K3 Subreceiver Status Update (KRX3 option)

[Barry N1EU]

Dave, I also find the K3 subrx delay a real bummer that may impact my
purchase timing.

But as far as your proposition that "The Ten Tec Omni VII . . . may be a
worthy and fully developed competitor", are you REALLY buying that?  I guess
worthiness (not to mention "fully developed") totally depends on the context
of comparison and how quickly you're apt to butt up against the radio's
limitations.  In tough band condx, I don't think it would be much of a
comparison.

73,
Barry N1EU
