[Elecraft] [KX3] KX2 in AM mode

[Phil Wheeler]

Wayne,

One reason I invest in Elecraft rigs, and have 
from the beginning, is the way they evolve over 
time. That magnifies the thrill of ownership for 
me. And, unlike the K2 where firmware upgrades 
meant ordering ($$) and disassembly to change out 
a firmware chip, now we simply download the 
updates and run the utility.

Kudos on a fine -- yea, irresistible -- new 
product, and also on the way Elecraft has evolved 
with the technology over the past 17 years.

73, Phil W7OX
