[Elecraft] Missing FDIM talk

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

That really depends on what Elecraft is trying to do.

If they're trying to be Icom, Kenwood or Yaesu, then yes, it's a bad 
move.  If the purpose is to make the owners/investors filthy rich, it's 
a bad move.

If their purpose is to make great radios, sell them at a decent price, 
and make a decent living, then maybe it's not so dumb after all.

I'd rather not buy a new radio every couple of years just to have the 
newest, latest and greatest.

I don't have a K3, I have a KX3.  I like that my two year old KX3 does 
more now than when I bought it, that's far better than the FT-817 I 
almost bought.
