[Elecraft] IndeIdefinate support for K3s?

[David Gilbert]

I still say it was purely a business decision WHEN THEY MADE IT. Yes, 
some parts might be difficult to get now, but when Elecraft offered the 
last chance buys they obviously expected to be able to source the 
necessary parts or they wouldn't have done so.  With Elecraft's 
apparently limited resources, I don't think readily available parts 
would make them change that decision.  They have simply decided to move 
on, and if my K3 fails I will look to buy my next rig from a different 
vendor that at least offers some sort of repair capability from 
certified 3rd parties in case I might be unable to repair it myself.

A modular upgradable rig isn't anything special if you can no longer buy 
modules.

As has been pointed out by many manufacturers there is a worldwide parts procurement problem going on and many parts are now unobtainable which it isn’t exclusive to Elecraft.
