[Elecraft] K3 Enhancement

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

In the Flex series, a second RX is a matter of more software and the memory
and processor capacity to service it.

Note that it's the high end Flex only that is in the neighborhood of K3
performance, and there is a reason for that which decidedly costs money. No
cheap advantage just because it is software based.

In my case I don't want the dependence on an operating system that sees
transceiver internal operations as a micro micro micro niche in its target
user population. The K3 functioning can't be undercut by a Microsoft OS or
driver upgrade. At very least any Elecraft changes to their K3 proprietary
code are aimed at improving things for K3 owners.

If you want the Flex side of this discussion you need to be on the Flex
reflector.

73 and good luck on your choices,
Guy K2AV
