I AM left to wonder what an Art Collins would have done with another
company leaping into a new performance dimension.  I doubt the year would
pass without an answer.  Nor would JA1MP, for that matter.

Guy you're being way too kind to Yaesu and JA1MP.  For the record, it took Yaesu 13 years (!) to fix the key clicks that began with the FT-1000 (and repeated in the 1000MP, 1000Field, 1000MkV, etc).  It's very ironic that the FT-1000MP (so named for JA1MP) is probably responsible for 95% of the clicks you hear on the air today.  I will personally never buy another Yaesu product for all the key click grief they have created.

I have not doubt that Wayne would be working on a fix within 13 minutes (NOT 13 YEARS) of hearing about similar problems in the K3...and I've had some personal experience to back that claim!
