[Elecraft] P3 - unfinished product

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

While some of the suggestions have merit, I beg to differ with the thought the product is unfinished.  During the development stage of any product there is a point where the product satisfies the original design requirements and is released to production.  This is not a end of the road of development, just a point in time where the original design requirements have been met. With many manufacturers, there is NO further development of that model.  Yes, the newer manufacturers offerings offer SW upgrades, but not major shifts is design.  Refinements to be sure as are offered by Elecraft.

The major issue here is, NONE of the off shore manufacturers will offer the direct design interface with the customer, Elecraft does........  

I like to think of the comments that address a wish list are a very good platform for Elecraft to see what the customers would like to see in their products.   This should not be a platform to condemn them for open ended option issues.  Come on Guys.  It is a business to make money.  Let's not sore the brew.  IMHO

Hi Phil,

            To many, including myself, it is unfinished.  There were lots of 
hints and teases about a TX monitoring addition that has not materialized.  That 
was a consideration in the original purchase.

              My Heath SB610 is long past retirement age.  I'll try to be in 
1st shipment group when and if it does become a product.  I can agree, it with 
the SVGA module is a fine product. as is.

73,
