[Elecraft] Re: K3 Key-down on power-up [Solution?]

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

And this is why we love Elecraft - I can't see any other manufacture  
responding positively with a solution, that's alone so quickly. Most  
other manufactures would just say 'Caveat Emptor' - don't do it then!

Boy am I glad I bought my K3 :)

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against  
cold.
For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no  
power to hurt you.
So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great  
wrongs,
and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
