Yes, and more DXPeditions would be using K3s if the JA companies didn't 
have deeper pockets than Elecraft.  Think about the cost of doing that 
for a small company the size of Elecraft, and you realize that it isn't 
easy.  For one trip that I was aware of the details, Eric could provide 
two radios, but Icom gave them a half dozen 7600s and even paid 
shipping, but demanded exclusivity.. On later trips that same group made 
the decision for K3s, and I don't think they were supported by Elecraft!
