[Elecraft] K3 SSB Monitor Suggestion

[Doug Turnbull]

One of the complaints regarding the Orion 2 was that it took an engineer to
use it.  A good friend was advised by a top operator in ARRL that he might
better consider a PRO 3 than the Orion 2 which was too complex.   The idea
that the Orion 2 was to complicated is a falsehood but the rig took time to
learn.   This is also true for the K3 and maybe even more so.   I noted in
the past week a new K3 being sold because it was too complex for the owner.
I have at times wondered why my K3 was not transmitting only to find that
inadvertently some menu item had been changed.   We have all seen similar
problems on this reflector.   Elecraft has done a fine job but it is hard to
satisfy us all and I sympathize with the design dilemmas Elecrafter face.

Next week I may be looking for another feature so I hope you forget what
EI2CN has written by then.

It seems to be the way of life that one person's requirement to "add  
more salt"  run's head long into another's view that "it's quite salty  
enough".

With so many cooks suggesting new seasonings, it's a wonder the  
Elecraft team has kept the soup flavored so well :-)
