To me the K3 is pretty simple. I turn it on and use it. If I want to
change things I can but I pretty much don't. I just turn it on and
operate. It's like a modern HW-101 for me, just as simple as can be.
Now, as to "promised features vs. fixes", this is a tough call. If the
features had not been promised then it would be clear to me - give me a
rig with limited features that is flawless rather than a Microsoft rig
(lots of features, many bugs). I too want sync AM detection but if
getting it means my AGC behaves badly in a pile-up, I'll take the AGC
fix and wait on sync. "But, wait, it was promised that we'd have sync
detection". True, but reality has become apparent and it would not be a
good choice to add more features, even though they were promised, when
the rig's core functionality has issues.

I'd rather see Elecraft complete the original feature list. What ever
happened to synchronous detection? The hope of a keyboard connection?
Or for that manner, a tightly integrated panadapter? An up-to-date,
complete owner's manual?
In my view, we've done a year of beta testing, and it is time to move
on.
