[Elecraft] Big Box K-3

[Nicholas Farrar]

My thoughts exactly. I has hoping for a calm productive discussion. I agree
with Buck, ideally all of these components would weight the same or less
than they do now. Marketing this GREAT radio to a new radiance that want
that big box all in one radio. Like the guys that buy DX-9000s and IC-7800s.
10-12,000 pop! I think those users would be happier with a big box K3 and
they dont even know it. But they refuse to look at the K3 because they want
the band scope built in or some thing else.

So, I've said more than my peace. Elecraft if you ever build a larger case
count me In.

Maybe naming the thread "Big Box K3" was a  mistake.  I should have called
it the K3Pro or + or Field.

The idea  was to explore what might happen if a K3+ included a built in
power supply,  amplifier, P3, speaker etc.  And as a result of the bigger
box,
larger  knobs and buttons.  It's the same great radio packaged to a
different  concept to appeal to different users.

I don't think a K3+ equipped  as described would weigh one ounce more than
4 or 5 discreet boxes containing  the same components.  It would probably
weigh less and take up less  room.

Now, I'm sorry I brought it up.  No good deed goes  unpunished.
