[Elecraft] New KX2?

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Walter,
Eric is a smart business man and Wayne is an elite engineer.
Both KX2 and K3S are product life cycle extension to fully utilize the existing R&D.  These products are only evolution and not revolution.
I trust Elecraft will use the cash generated from the above products to produce a revolutionary product at at later stage.
I keep track of Elecraft business case and use it as examples in my part time lecturing in business school.

There is some sort of myth about the KX3 not being rugged. It was designed for trail use. With around 10,000 sold, I haven’t heard any reports of problems with ruggedness.

My KX3 has fallen hard enough to bend the BNC connector and it works fine. 

I would expect the KX2 to be slightly more rugged because the boards are smaller. That’s about it.

Of course, the SideKX panels provide extra protection for the knobs. That’s handy.
