Not wanted here. I already have the best rig ever: K3/100 thank-you.

'73.  2E0BWQ.

If you have nothing good to say, say nothing!

I'm not saying whether a very portable all-mode VHF/UHF rig falls into that category or not, but I'll bet it's a decision that Elecraft has already made one way or the other.
