[Elecraft] Broken promises

[Karl Marderian]

David,
My point was to be heard. Others write in about the changes they want,  
why not me? Would I have bought the K3 any way, yes. As I stated  
before in an open letter to this web sight. The ' others ' would have  
you wait for the 7xxx to come out with most of the frimware and most,  
if not all of the hardware changes. I really like my K3 SN 2020. My  
old radio was an  MP MK V. Just want to heard.
