K3 fodder

[Don Rasmussen]

Elecraft will be raising the bar in many areas for
cost and efficiency, but if the only thing they did at
all was to raise the bar for other manufacturers with
respect to accountability in the rigs firmware, it
would be a godsend. That's one standard that some of
the others have set on the low side and kept it
there...

This is cross posted from the Yahoo K3 list.
Interesting stuff for a Friday if you have not seen
it.

Re: any educated guess as to when actual IMD, DR, etc
numbers will be posted ?


Why are you worried? From what i have read the K3 is
going to
outperform every current model HF radio on the market.

You can get some hints on this link.

Bill W4ZV has been collating and comparing the numbers
since the
Original Orion Debut, maybe even earlier.

I predict... & u hrd it here "first:"

K3 will end the offering of more new HIGHEST END models of ham radios from
Yaesu, ICOM and especially Kenwood (already done in effect for Kenw).

By 2012, Elecraft models and ORION 2 (and maybe OMNI 7) will be the only
non-computer-based  rigs* available to purchase new.  The USA mfgs. return
to the days of Johnson, Collins, et al.  What a turn!

I personally do not like this 2012 prediction because I like a full
marketplace, but I think reality will take hold in Japan as its mfg.
leadership changes and the ham marketplace evolves.

* that is, rigs u would really want.
