[Elecraft] K3 mods by I7SWX

[Twan at pa0kv.nl]

Hello Wayne.

I do agree with you that the K3 is an amazing transceiver. But this is 
mostly the reason why a ham buys his gear.
So, in a business point of view I think that an improved K3 plug-in 
mixer, designed by Elecraft, would sell!
Electronics is part of the HAM-hobby for me and many other hams.
I modified my Drake B-line, later the Drake C-line and later again the 
Drake 7-line. All with much pleasure.

But, if f.i. a mixer mod does not give me notable improvements I would 
skip it.
It's up to you guys to figure out what is feasible.

73,
