[Elecraft] Ham Qualifications, Customer Service

[Rick Tavan]

What do you mean, David? The K3 had a nearly 15 year run as Elecraft's
flagship transceiver and is still being serviced within the limits of parts
availability. K3S was a mid-life update, not a new design. It had a few
revised boards and they were available to retrofit to the earlier K3 units.
Other updated boards came along prior to K3S and were also retrofittable.
In my 60+ years of ham radio, the K3 stands out as the longest-living, most
modular, most upgradeable radio of all, by a wide margin. I have no reason
to expect anything less of K4.
