[Elecraft] Eric's missing FDIM talk

[Ken Bandy, KJ9B]

Thanks, Jim.  Good point about the "upgradability".  I'm sure Electraft
makes a great radio, otherwise it would not be the "go to" rig for lots of
DXpeditions.  Unfortunately, it's pretty "spicey" for me at this point.
I'll see what I can harvest from Dayton, and maybe just hold off on my
decision for a while until the "orphaned" K3 rigs start showing up on the
used market.

73,
Ken, KJ9B

Don't rule out a used K3, Ken. This announcement insures that there will be
some around. :)  Not mine, though -- I've already bought the Synth upgrade
to three K3s, and may upgrade the I/O and preamp.

Think about this, Ken -- for any other mfr, a new rig like this would
obsolete the previous model. With Elecraft, we'll be able to upgrade pieces
of it that we care about for a fraction of the cost. The new synth board,
for example, costs about $200 and is easy to install.
