A SUPERB COMPANY !

[Phil Anderson]

I was not disappointed with the announcements/postings today. On the
contrary, what a super day!

I recently added the P3, SVG and SUB-RX to my K3. Still, I like the
announcements today. What shows is a company that is constantly
improving its product and trying hard to satisfy nearly everyone with as
many upgrades as possible. That's backing up the customer! This
shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Now let's support the company!

I'll give it some thought first, but now considering going from S02V to
S02R. The new rig, of course, would be the K3S!

I was disappointed that all of the upgrades can not be added to the K3
- in spite of previous commitments by Elecraft principals.  The new RF
board (5/10/15 dB attenuator, lower receive noise, better isolation)
front panel board (RTC compensation, etc.) and new bezel can not be
retrofitted according to the K3S FAQ.

While one can get most of the way there - new audio amplifier (by
replacing the DSP board), new preamp (by replacing the KXV3/KXV3A),
better LF/MF response (KBPF3A or modify existing KBPF3), that lower
RF and digital noise floor/improved port isolation may be a significant
issue for maximum receive performance.

I have to agree, I don't understand why so many are upset over a new product being released, in today's economy it's good to see a company in good shape and developing new gear.
The only real thing I'm looking forward to is the parts kit to lower the lower RX edge to 100KHz (and hopefully a firmware change to take it even lower).

For me I doubt I'll be moving to the K3s very soon since I'm quite happy with my K3, after all my K3 was a fantastic radio two days ago and it will be a fantastic radio tomorrow as well.
