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

[Fred Jensen]

I bought my K3 [#642] because I liked its performance and feature set 
and I like Elecraft, I already had a K2/100 and KX1.  None of the K3 
features and performance goes away when a KX3 or K4 hits the market. 
Everything gets improved [although a lot of things billed as 
"improvements" aren't always so ... Windoze Me/Vista? :-)].  My KPA500 
is on order, I want QSK at 500W.  I've been running my old KW at 500W 
just to see if it matters.  It likely does to some, but not me.  A 
KPA1500, if there ever is one, isn't going to change that.

My phone is a year old and is so hopelessly obsolete my grandsons don't 
even try and suppress their laughter when Grandpa gets it out.  It makes 
and receives telephone calls however, which is what I got it for. 
Frankly, I don't care what "pile" my K3 ends up in, it does what I want 
and will continue to do so.

Has a "K4" really been announced or is everyone just making this up?
