[Elecraft] Appreciation

[Dick Roth, KA1OZ]

Generally, when one purchases a product, its value depreciates almost 
immediately in a downward spiral.  Elecraft is proving that the reverse 
can be true.  The usability of the K3, terrific from the start, 
continues to improve with each new firmware update (I'm discounting the 
little setbacks).  I would call this "appreciation".  The addition of 
APF adds a new dimension to this rig that I could not have imagined.  To 
give context here, my last rig was a National NCX-3.  When I renewed my 
interest and bought the K3, it was with the intent of buying a "keeper". 
  Wow...I was right!  It *is* a keeper.

There are those nervous about the radio almost perpetually running 
"beta" firmware.  It is just this always moving status and the team 
behind the development of this code that is the unique element that sets 
Elecraft apart from the rest of the ham radio equipment manufacturers.

Vive le difference!!
