Sneak Preview: New Elecraft products - What?

[dhhdeh]

Lee,

IMO Steve and others are correct, not 'whiny types' at all.

I am also disappointed in their announcement.

I hoped that a  K3 Panadpater and/or especially the  KPA-800 had been
forthcoming.

And after reading your post, for a minute, I thought I had been
transported to the Ten Tec Reflector.

Guys - please, no more criticisms of other's postings. We appreciate the
enthusiasm and support, but its not necessary or proper to jump on
someone for criticizing something. Its OK to disagree, but keep it civil.

Regarding what comes out when - we're running as fast as we can and do
not have infinite resources. (And we're still working hard on numerous
K3 enhancements.) I'd love to have another 10-20 engineers on staff, but
I think we'll have to sell mucho more K3s for that to happen. So tell
your friends about the K3 ;-)

Some products take longer to develop than others. None of this is easy.
Believe me, we'd love to have everything people want right now.
Different engineers, with different expertises, are available for
different products. That's what frequently determines what we can get
out first. We were able to get the W2 and K144XV products out for Dayton
without delaying our K3 enhancements and other projects. We have a lot
going on on the background, so stay tuned..

As we get closer to other new products, well post here, but we do not
want to over commit and will not give dates on anything new until it is
close.

It always amazes me how speculation on the internet gets perceived as
fact once several people repeat it. The rumor mill rarely is accurate
;-)  What 200W option? Wow, that one is news to me. :-)

I've been having a great time with my office K3 and K144XV on the local
2M FM repeaters. Surprised a few locals when I told them I was on a K3..
Its going to be a super option.

I find it hard to believe that people are actually complaining.  Good  
grief!  :-(

There are lots of amps to buy.  There's already a Panadapter  
solution.  But there's only one integrated 2M adapter for the K3.

I guess everyone has an opinion and an ****, or wishes they were a  
member of the Board's "Product Committee"  ... or at least wants to  
believe they are already a member ...

You gotta love any job where you can keep a K3 in your office!

One gets the impression, Eric's office is more like a home,  
considering how much time he and Wayne must spend there !

Eric, All of the people at Elecraft are doing a fine job. The several times that I have called have always been a good experience, even the times that I called with something that I overlooked and should have been able to solve myself. Thanks to everyone out there for a quality product and fine service.

We all are eagerly waiting for the next piece of equipment to be developed and manufactured because we know it will complement what we have in quality as well as reliability.

Thanks again,

Len  K3LJ
