I see people mentioning how disconcerting it is not to be able to settle 
down with one one version of the radio because of the constant upgrades 
and bug fixes, well I understand this but on the other hand I am quite 
excited as to the development process that this radio is be taken on. 
Please understand that you don't have to upgrade normally and you can 
also revert to any version of the firmware you want to, although you may 
need to ask where the older versions are stored.

So for Elecraft; you guys keep doing it this way until you start 
developing your next superlative radio because you will create an 
incredible product here that is probably as close to what the buyers 
want as possible ( I hope everyone who posts or emails suggestions  
realizes that they are considered for integration in the K3. Ever had 
Yaesu, Kenwood or Icom do this).

My suggestion for Elecraft, a bit more often have releases that seem to 
have the least amount of issues are labeled "interim production 
releases" or something like that and put a bit of extra effort in the 
documentation at that point. I guess I would set a time period to do 
this in and adhere to it as best a possible.

Personally I don't care about the releases having a few problems as long 
as I know that they will be fixed.

GO Elecraft!!!
