[Elecraft] K3S

[hawley, charles j jr]

Not apoplectic, however somewhat sad. I really like, most of all, the modular aspect of the K3 line, (K2 as well). The K4 just reminds me of the typical ham radios of the past with the new display, although as a plus, the direct sampling. I suppose I could get into it, but I have been thinking that the K3(S) line will be just fine and satisfy me whenever I'm in the shack for some time to come. I hope to live long enough to want one. 
One thing I remember when I got the P3 how much room it had into it. I thought at the time that a perforated top cover and a speaker would be a good accessory kit for it. That hasn't happened...yet. Maybe some aftermarket enterprise would step up. 
I'm not done with the K3 line...
