I haven't seen any indication that they have decided to end the  
amplifier projects. The amps likely would have been out but for the  
regulation changes as the RoHS changes.

The biggest obstacle has probably been the overwhelming success of the  
K3. Elecraft had been in a backorder situation on that one product for  
more than a year. The K3 has clearly absorbed all of the creative  
energy of Elecraft for the last couple of years. That may not continue  
forever -- so the amps may see the light of day, as well as other  
projects.
