[Elecraft] KX3 Shipment notification

[Fred Jensen]

Many years ago, $/watt actually *was* a measure used in evaluating 
transmitters [they were all either transmitters or receivers then, until 
Art Collins invented the KWM-2].  Transmitters all sort of followed the 
same architectural pattern and were not what you might today call 
"feature-rich."  "Press the key, make RF."  Bandswitching was a feature 
compared to plug-in coils.  Menus hadn't been invented either.
