>I think $800 more for the K3 versus comparable TS-590 may be about right, I
always hate to see kit prices higher than factory assembled units but when
you go head to head with the high volume producers, that's what happens. 

>As for the K3 front panel layout, I credit the fact that the K3 is a
contest radio first and foremost to that. Operation is supposed to be PC
based.

>After ownning K3 from the beginning, my request would be for an "armchair"
version of K3. There would be an analog S-Meter, large LED/LCD display, band
buttons, mode buttons. I also -really- enjoy an analog "take-off" receiver
for CW. 

>But the guys have based their product line around K3 and I feel strongly
that anyone that buys a K3 today will have the current Elecraft transceiver
for years to come.
