Time will tell how prices will change. But Elecraft has a unique position in
the market... While Kenwood lowered their price for the TS-480 SAT for
example over time globally. But then, the K2 and now the K3 gets perpetually
improved and the line gets expanded. Why not
add hundreds of K3 orders before the TS-590 hits the street?
Quick, name the nearest 3 competitors to the K3! Is it a monster transceiver
needing to be "drop shipped"? Is it a SDR requiring a powerful computer
which has a hungry power supply, thus the opposite of going green? Whatever
it is, it is more expensive AFAIK!
How about a Labor Day Special? Spend $ 1.000 and get 5% off. Buy a K3 and
add ons for $ 1,000 or more and get 10% off? Lots of people have wish lists
with items like a 2nd receiver or a P3 on them. Such an incentive would make
many rush to place their orders.
