[Elecraft] P3 Critics

[Bill]

Ditto on the comments. I have never had the pleasure of a Panadpter and look
forward to its release.

I understand the sentiment, but Elecraft does want to hear the good and the
bad. This is what makes them different.

As they have aptly stated, they are "big boys" (no slight meant to lisa ans
company) and they can take.

I look forward to a panadaptor in most any iteration. I haven't seen one
since I worked on them on B52G/H's.

It is amazing to me how there can be so much criticism of the P3 before it
has even been put into production and released for sale

THANKS Wayne and Eric.  That is just exactly what I was hoping for.  Sounds
PERFECT.
 Can't wait to get one!

The following is a quote from a recent eHam review:
 
"Which brings me to another issue. While I commend Elecraft for its customer
service, it appears that the K3 is now being designed to satisfy the
"squeaky wheels" on the reflector. There seems to be a large number of
owners who want a custom radio, and will stop at nothing in order to get the
company to change the firmware so it suits their individual tastes. It seems
as though the firmware beta changes are arriving more and more frequently.
This is both good and bad. While it is nice to see the improvements, I think
that it is getting to be a little overwhelming (and wonder about the utility
of many of the "improvements"). It appears that many are to simply satisfy
the vocal minority. I'd rather see Elecraft survey its entire user base as
to what things might be changed, rather than the (highly) vocal few that
populate the reflector."
