[Elecraft] A Rob Sherwood's talk in Dayton

[Doug Turnbull]

Keith,
    It might make it more difficult to upgrade all K3s if there were a
number of different version K3s out there.   I see your point but prefer to
see Elecraft doing what it started and keeping the K3 an improving product
for all.   Once there is a K3A, B, C this may not longer be practical.   

     As a CW operator the small amount of distortion is perhaps less
noticeable than it would be if I were an ESSB operator with good hearing.

     Just one man's opinion ultimately it is up to the designers what
happens.   They have such an agreeable ethos that I am not sure it would be
good to change it.

This statement baffles me...


        "As always, our goal is to continuously improve the K3 in a way that
is applicable to units in the field. If we find a practical way to achieve a
further significant improvement in the audio channel, we'll certainly make
it available."


Why would you not make improvements to the K3 just because they can not be
applied to older units?  I'm not sure what is to gain by holding back
improvements.  As a early K3 owner I would love to see a better K3 offered. 
I would have a choice to keep my early K3 or replace it with a improved
unit.  Radios evolve all the time.  It is disappointing to know a better K3
could exist but doesn't because a new K3 may be better than the an older K3.


That's just wrong.  IMHO.

Keith, K5ENS
