[Elecraft] RE: KRX3 & KDVR Installs

[Dave Agsten]

Since the installation of both of these options requires removing the front panel, wouldn't it have made more sense to release these two at the same time? It seems to me that you're just flirting with trouble when you keep opening the radio up time after time. I know some will say it's easy, no problem, blah, blah, blah. But, after working with radios, electronics and computers over the last 40 years, I know for a fact that even the best technicians and engineers screw up from time to time. So, anything can happen. Repeated opening up of the K3 surely increases the odds of something being screwed up. 

As for me, I'm debating about whether to cancel my KRX3 order and will not purchase the DVR since it's not going to be ready at the same time. Worst case is I'll only be opening up the radio one more time....at least to the extent that is required for these two options. If I need DVR capability and perhaps a second RX, I'll use my 5000A.
