K3 - too many firmware updates?

My updater has collected MCU firmware versions 1.34, 1.35, 1.36, 1.38,
1.39, 1.41 and 1.42 and I've only been using it since late Monday of
this week!

Hope you guys keep track of the changes, I can hardly keep up. Can we
have proper change notification so we can decide which updates to take
(or not) as the case may be?

I have decided to cancel my order for the K3, I think I will wait
till its stable and shipping right away.
It was no rush for me, only I like to get something when I want it,
as everyone does I suppose...

I will look and see how things are going in the spring, and maybe
get one then, if the dust has settled.

I am much more of an analog guy, and prefer rigs I can work
on and modify, play around with, etc.
So I think I will get an old FT102, looks like a good radio
if you dont mind tube finals, its got an 8 mhz and 455 khz IF,
with adjustable passband in both, filters in both, all mode 160 through 10
meters, and 3 6146 output tubes with a lot of neg feedback that
is supposed to make it REAL clean in output.

Should be fun to play with, and its 1/4 the price of the K3
or less.

So, everyone gets to move one up in the que, I ordered
(with deposit) on May 2nd.
I figure it might have shipped in two or three weeks...maybe...

Brett, you might want to rethink your order cancellation. After
using my K3 in both the phone SS and for a few hours now
in the CQ WW cw contest I can't imagine a better radio!
In the near future I would expect to see a large number of
1K-MPs and PRO IIIs on the market.
