[Elecraft] TRANSLATION: K3 Subreceiver Status Update

Myself I don't consider this a debacle at all - what we are seeing is a 
small high-tech company bringing out a product that is already surpassing 
the competition in terms of performance and putting the release of a 
flagship radio from one of the major Japanese manufacturers to shame.

There is more communication with the engineers at Elecraft in a single week 
than with the combined engineers at Kenwood / Icom / Yaesu in a whole year.

I do not call delaying a module a debacle when the engineers decide it 
doesn't meet the current design targets.

The delay in the sub-RX is making me reconsider whether to buy the sub-RX 
and instead just buy a second basic K3 to use for RX.
