[K3] [Elecraft] K3 Obsolete? [OT]

[Simon (HB9DRV)]

I believe the FT-847 was discontinued because finding some key parts became 
impossible and Yaesu didn't want to redesign an old-ish radio.

As for buying a Kenwood - I have the TS-480 and TS-2000 and would like to 
see a new Kenwood HF radio, with any luck pure analgue.
