I totally support that.
I have two K3 transceivers, and use the remote facility which Elecraft provide.
I was the first Hampod owner in the U.K. and it certainly makes a huge difference.  The XYL likes it as she now no longer has to read the menu and config settings!

Hi Jim,

You're confusing the K3 with the KX3, a different, though still very =
competent radio. The KX3 does indeed have morse readout, but it's not =
yet complete. This will be changing, hopefully soon. Wayne is a lot of =
the way to finishing it.=20

For perspective on the cost, though, bear in mind that the K3 compares =
quite favorably, in fact, its receiver specs are on par with, and in =
many cases better than, the $10,000 Yaesu FT-DX-9000. Or is it 5000? =
Anyway, Yaesu's high end radio. Fully tricked out K3 at half the price? =
You tell me.=20

I own three Elecraft rigs. The K2/100, the KX1, and the KX3. I don't own =
a K3, can't afford one yet, but I would buy an Elecraft for HF any time, =
no question. They're accessible with the right add ons, as you see, =
plus, they have fantastic receivers, and they're easy and intuitive to =
operate. Not to mention that Elecraft's service and support are second =
to none.=20
