K3 makes K2 obsolete? - don't think so.

Can someone tell me if the K2 users, support, and production are all
still going strong?

Tim, I have both and I don't think the K2 and K3 are competitors; I
think that they fill different niches in the market.
And, we see plenty of K2 traffic on this reflector.
So I doubt if the K3's success will detract from the value of, or
support for, the K2.

We still have strong K2 sales and fully support it. While the K3
certainly impacted the total K2 monthly volume, its still selling well.
Its also easy for us to keep making it.

Both the K3 and K2 have unique features that differentiate them. And on
the K2, you get to enjoy the smell of rosin as you solder in almost all
of the components ;-)

If you try hard you can find the overlap between the two.  But with very
little effort you can find the differences.

One thing Elecraft does very well is to not flood us with too many choices,
which is what seems to be the norm these days.

Each product serves a specific purpose (or set of...) and that, combined
with performance (and reasonable price, IMHO) is refreshing.
