[Elecraft] K3/0 question to Elecraft

[Mitch Wolfson DJØQN]

I think there are two types of users here:

1) Those who would like a small head to take along when they travel, 
where space is at a premium. Of course, then the RRC also needs to be 
taken along, but this is much easier if they are separate items for a 
small suitcase or carry-on. A method to provide the 12v for the K3/0 
would have to be made, e.g. a pigtail for the RRC 12v supply if it can 
support the full load.

2) Those who wish to use the K3/0 from a fixed location and not use it 
often for travels. Here is neither size nor the 12v supply an issue. 
This would allow one to build the RRC, etc. into the enclosure, or turn 
the K3/0 into a full-fledged K3 at some point in the future.

We shall hopefully soon see what Wayne and Eric come up with!

73,

P.S.: I am user type 1

The advantage of the small form-factor
