[Elecraft] What to do with my K3

[John W2XS]

Read the reviews and make a list of your own pros and cons. In addition to
the usual transmitter and receiver performance items, include things like:

* Cost of repair (modules vs. the whole rig being sent).
* Company management involvement in reflector discussions, customer
problems, and customer feature requests.
* The overall quality of the design and support teams assembled by the
company.
* The sense of excitement expressed by people who were just waiting for
their equipment to be shipped.
* The ease and simplicity of uploading new software revisions.
* Physical size and weight.
* The predicted level of support that will be available years from now.

I was honestly trying not to be biased towards the K3 but that's impossible
at this point.  (And, after all, this IS the Elecraft reflector).
