One thing of note here is that the K3 evolves by progressive updates  
that can be end-user installed.  Most are firmware updates, but some  
quite easy hardware tweaks.  So the EXPENSE of this evolution of the  
K3 is nearly zero, compared to the Icom path of just spending another  
$10k for the next iteration.
