[Elecraft] K3: Online K3 Demo

[Paul - WW2PT]

In addition to the online remote K3, I think some well-produced videos
showing the K3 in action in various modes, assembly and setup tutorials,
feature demonstrations, etc. would be great. The Ten-Tec site has something
along these lines. There are some good K3 videos on YouTube like WU2X and
WW2DX demonstrating LP-Pan and PowerSDR with the K3, and I'd love to see
more along these lines -- like a demo video with high quality stereo audio
that would really let someone experience the advantages of diversity
receive, for example, or one showing a sneak preview of the P3 panadapter.
Stuff aimed not just at prospective K3 buyers but also at people who already
own the K3 but still have cash left over. ;-)

73,
