[Elecraft] Product Idea - 25 Watt PA for the K3

[Bill Frantz]

Don makes an excellent point.

I started with a minimal K3 and built it out "under the XYL's 
radar", enjoying it every step of the upgrade path. The second 
receiver was the killer upgrade for trying to work DX with big 
pileups. (I already had the P3.)

The other big advantage of the modular approach is the ability 
to install a improved board in an old radio, bringing it close 
to the latest and greatest. The new synthesizer board is a great example.
