[Elecraft] Elecraft Power supply

[N6JW]

Hi Richard:

If you look at my earlier emails, you will see that we are not talking
about Elecraft simply re-inventing the wheel, but rather doing 
something innovative and state of the art in an uninterruptible
PS internal to the P3 to enhance the portability of the K3/P3 combo.
No extra box (i.e. PS) to carry.  This is a big deal for the significant
number of us who travel extensively with our K3's.
