[Elecraft] KIO3B pricing (was: Re: K3IOB)

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Also note that the KIO3B has all of the original KIO3 analog and digital functionality and HW. Adding the usb sound and USB data hw to that did not increase the end price by over $200.

Lastly at ham radio market volumes, which are much lower than most consumer products, the cost to develop and support any design is folded in the price we must charge over time. We can't survive any other way.
