Rig release history

With the wondering, joking, occasional hint of provoking, about the K4,
I looked back a couple decades. Dates might be off a little, but the
trend is

with a hopeful dashed blue line added!

A logistic curve is a good fit to that graph. Hmmmm....

=========
Yep. By then you'll be able to get a DAC with specs 10x better than today,
plus a programmable gate array that can contain most of the transceiver
circuitry and will cost only a few bucks. Could be the guts of a new
approach.

Am I the only one who has noticed the absence of a KX2?

Re: Rig release history

I've observed that too, Fred. Now can we predict
what it will be? :-)

I'll know Elecraft has arrived when they bring out a radio that occupies
half the desk
and weighs 85# !!

Hopefully that definition of "arrival" has become
obsolete, Dick! But let's see, I wonder what the
total weight of:

* K3/100 with options
* P3
* KPA500
* KAT500
* KX3
* PX3

(and I guess we could add in power supply for
KX3/PX3 and K3/P3, too) would be? :-)

Too scary a thought, Kevin! I added shadings that instead show Wayne's and
Elecraft's efforts as phases or stages divided by the start of the K3
effort. Can the ham community support more phases (hiring, products, org
complexity)? Can Eric's and Wayne's sanity withstand it?? :-)

If that chart holds we will be hearing about the upcoming release of the
next major product from Elecraft in another 12 to 18 months. :)
