[Elecraft] Considering a K3

[Phil Wheeler]

Highly unlikely, Dave. Elecraft started in 1998 or 
so and has grown by measured steps, well planned 
from all appearances, vs. a flash in the pan.  The 
K3 was preceded by the K2, K1, KX1 and several 
other products, all introduced slowly and with 
great support. As a result Elecraft has a very 
dedicated customer base.

I'm an amateur astronomer and companies there are 
a bit unstable -- even the biggies like Meade.

Not to worry!

73, Phil
