[Elecraft] P3 - unfinished product

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Okay, I haven't been licensed as long as some of you, but I'm still 
eligible for QCWA membership with a fair margin.

What company, besides Elecraft, provides firmware updates for free?  Who 
adds capabilities after the radio is sold, without selling them as an 
"upgrade kit?"

My ICOM, Yaesu and Kenwood radios have all had a set of features the day 
I bought them, and that was it.
