[Elecraft] Future K-radio?

[Edward R Cole]

Gary,

What you are envisioning is a perfect example of an idea that can 
become a new "niche" product.  If Elecraft chooses to not develop the 
concept, there is no reason that it cannot be done by someone else.

For example:  fabricating a "cage" for docking several transverter 
boards.  I'm pretty sure that one can arrange to purchase plain pcb's 
from some mfrs of transverters.  But you would need sufficient 
capital and business plan to present an attractive business proposal 
to the mfr.

I basically did this with DEM for their VHF/UHF transverter 
kits.  They had no objection to my building kits and reselling them, 
as they got to sell the kit.  I made sure not to be "in competition" 
with their sales of assembled units.

Many small ham radio businesses have gotten a start with just such an idea.

What I was envisioning is a box...no display/front panel/speaker.  A
blank box.  Just something to install modules into.  It would be
CONTROLLED by the K3..saving on cost.
