I'd say the K3 is already in the hands of some great
contesters. From the postings I've read, contesters
have already taken notice. Word of mouth and results
from the first batch of users will be icing on the
cake.
ARRL does purchase the radio they review. A solid
technical review would not rely on contesters
experiences, although they might be noted in the
review.
A mis posted response to an email is not endemic of an
issue any more than a banner really means "Mission
Accomplished".
I wish I had all the free time some folks have... have
a heck of a lot of antenna work that needs to be done
before the contests ;o)
