[Elecraft] K3 Firmware Stability - wrong description

[Jim Miller]

We are not really talking about stability here.  Generally, we are talking
about variations is existing functions between versions that some weren't
expecting.  If there was a setting that got bumped accidentally during an
upgrade, well, that's the way it is sometimes.  Not a big deal and it gets
fixed right away.  The end result is more functionality in a radio that
continues to grow even after you buy it.  And if your idea of an additional
or varied function is feasible, it may even be implemented.  Try that with
one of the other manufacturers.  It would get posted in the break room as a
joke.

Think about this.  You buy ANY other radio and you get what you bought,
period.  Like it or not.   (Flex 5000 maybe??, but you have a better radio
here).  It MAY get a bug fix or two but it certainly will not get any
enhancements and YOU certainly won't have any input.

The concept of bringing the "kit" radio to the market, allowing you to
configure it in the manner you like, and even upgrade it with other options
later is what one could only hope for until now.

THANKS, ELECRAFT, AND KEEP IT UP.

Owner wannabe,
Awaiting my k3,
Jim
