[Elecraft] A confession

[Josh Fiden]

If someone is not intimately familiar with the K3's behavior, and 
prepared to look for and document bugs, I don't understand why they 
would install BETA firmware.

I've had limited operational time with my K3/P3 and therefore would be 
uncertain if behavior was a bug or cockpit error. My interest is 
occasional contesting and 6m. Running beta firmware is not consistent 
with my activities. I updated once about a year after the radio was put 
into service, and will do again because there's a feature in the latest 
vers that I want.

It's unclear from postings whether the issues are related to beta 
firmware releases or not. If they are, then you got what you signed up for!
