[Elecraft] Firmware development

[Tim Tucker]

Tim,

I'm an owner of 3 Elecraft radios and am a huge fan of the products. But
one thing that the last few years has shown is that Elecraft does not have
a great track record of developing new features or technologies into their
existing transceiver products.  They release updates and patches for
various issues, and certainly did release new features early on for the K3,
but a lot of the ideas the community suggested went unanswered. I
understand why this is, and hope that it will change with the K4, but
ultimately the K3, KX3, and KX2 are largely the same product that they have
been for the last several years.
