  It's never as simple as that.  I think announcing a product when its on
its final approach is fine.  I think getting tons of feedback on what you're
about to invest heavily in is good business.  Maybe the truth of the earlier
amps was that there just wasn't enough positive response to them.  Maybe
this time they used all the input from the previous attempt to refine the
price point and feature set.  Maybe everytime someone here says the price is
too high Eric makes another note. Or someone else says I'll order on the
first day - is another note. This is free market research.  Easy access to
the most likely buyers.  A big product mistake by a small company like
Elecraft could sink them.  I think they took a LOT of notes on the road to
completing the K3. Nobody can argue with the results. And when the KPA-500
is released, it will be based on tons of feedback.
