[Elecraft] Product Suggestion Big Box K3

[K4IA at aol.com]

Don't get me wrong.  I am a huge fan of all things Elecraft.  As  far as I 
am concerned Eric and Wayne are geniuses - and I mean that.  I  have been a 
K1, 2 and 3 owner.  Elecraft is the best.
 
I am only making a product suggestion and it is for more than a bigger box  
with bigger knobs (although that is part of the suggestion).  I am  
suggesting an integrated station with power supply, amp, maybe a front firing  
speaker all in one box.  One option would put a P3 in the speaker  hole.  Its 
all modular, so you can put what you want in the box.  
 
Its a different product built around the already fabulous K3  platform.  As 
for portability, I would rather have everything in one case  than a bunch 
of smaller pieces to pack up and haul.  
 
Such a radio would blow away the competition.  One can dream,  no?

Apparently the summer silly season is upon us? The ergonomics of  the K3 
are just fine the way they are. If one wants a bigga box, write to  
Magnavox or some furniture manufacturer. I am an ancient and decrepit 77  
years old with bad peripheral neuropathy and big fingers, and  
nevertheless have no trouble turning knobs or pushing buttons on the K3.  
Kudos to the designers of the machine, who took size into account along  
with operating specifications. I wonder how the whiners manage to type?  
Maybe they should ask for double-sized keyboards? My NSHO.
