[Elecraft] Something *really* new at Dayton from Elecraft

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Doesn't your speculation presume that all the noise reduction
functionality IS IN HARDWARE?  Last I looked at the K3 functionality,
all the NR is in PROGRAM CODE, not burned into hardware chips.  Go
read the schematic.  And since Wayne has been good about keeping up K3
firmware, why would he code something new in the KX3 and not use the
code and/or concept in the K3 to extend the product life?  I smell
analog thinking.

Possibly if it does do something because more processing power is
available, that's progress in the electronics industry, not some evil
Elecraft conspiracy.  AND retrofitting a newer CPU in existing
equipment is extremely expensive.  Upgraded circuit board, TWO paths
of firmware development instead of one, etc, etc.

Be careful when you compare Wayne to Yakencom.  He REALLY does not
deserve that.

73, Guy.
