[Elecraft] Big box K3

[Nicholas Farrar]

*
So stop making noise just to be heard. What Im asking for would affect you
anti-changer zero. And we all got it a few post back Phil... you dont like
change.... fine. Then if you dont have any thing constructive to add, don't
play. Some of us do want something new. Something more. The K3 is GREAT! But
even the Queen of England could stand to refine herself a bit more. The
beauty of what Im asking for in not the end of the K3. Its just enhancement.
Why do some people fly off the handle of something so small. Take your toys
and go home. Dont spoil our party on the idea of a larger K3(K3A).

------------------------------

It seems to be that a bigger K3 is a different radio then the K3 and
should be called something different.  No, not even K3A or whatever.

I probably would not buy one though.  I like my K3 as it is.  If there
is some great new technology that is embraced by Elecraft that does
not fit the K3, then maybe it is time for a K4.  If that is in a
bigger box, then so be it if that is needed.  But, to have a bigger
box merely to use space is not my obsession.

I think the IC-7800 and the FT-9000 whatever are in very big boxes.
When I first saw the FT-9000 my first thought was "No, I don't want
that".

I am surprised Eric hasn't put the kibosh to this thread -- maybe they
are listening to the comments.  If you are, I vote for status quo.
