[Elecraft] OT: Kenwood's new rig? isnt this an elecraft reflector?

[Dave KQ3T]

What am I missing? I don't come close to $6800:

(some prices rounded for convenience)
K3/100-F                  2250
KAT3-F                     340
P3-F                       750
P3SVGA                     260
KRX3-F                     660
KXV3A                      120
KBPF3                      150
4 Xtal Filters            ~550
                       ========
Total                     5080

73,

Let us not be too hasty to judge this beast.  According to the
Elecraft price sheet, a comparable K3 setup will cost almost $6800 and
that does not give you a power supply or 200W, which is included with
the Kenwood.
