[Elecraft] New K3 purchase

Hello James!

Firmware to do this is in pre-Beta with an expanded test group 
exercising it.  I make no predictions as to when it will be in Beta, but 
I'd be surprised if it isn't very, very soon.

When you place the order, request that the radio have all mods in place.

There is a list of builders-for-hire on the website that can build a 
transverter for you.

Yes.  I have one in my K3 and another in my KRX3.

Welcome aboard!
