[Elecraft] K3 firmware 2 years on and still much to do

[pd0psb]

K3 is a "consensus-derived SDR"
The larger the K3 community grows the harder it will become to get consensus
about it's FW.
I think this is giving Elecraft a hard time as well as a good laugh (I
hope).

The danger is that consensus gets disturbed by lobbying and shouting.
That might drive K3 into a niche corner where it shouldn't be.

Also I hope Elecraft won't rest too much on it's review-laurels.
Don't focus too much on expansion, first strive for perfection in K3's
core-functionality.

Personally I think it won't be too long until other companies also drop
their 1st IF roofing frequencies or switch to direct sampling HF SDR and get
very comparable RF/IMD/DR results in a similar package.

It will be a lot harder to still excell if you didn't refine "the small
stuff". (UI,audio,eq,memory handling, etc) for a wide variety of users.
