[Elecraft] K3 and whats next from Elecraft

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Rick makes an excellent point.  Buy a new YaeKenCom and that radio will 
be the same the day you sell it as it was on the day you bought it.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that the biggest "threat" 
to the K3 in the future is simply running out of buttons and knobs as 
features are added to the radio.

Maybe at some point there will be a K3 mark II where the big change is a 
new front panel that has been "tuned" to the evolving feature set.

Disclaimer: I don't know the K3 well enough to critique the current 
front panel, I suspect the current front panel works fine.  I have a KX3.
