Lots of possible reasons why Elecraft might not do a 1500, but specifically price breaks and unwillingness to adopt a product that from other manufacturers has proven problematic at our price range for well understood reasons. Elecraft has been conservative about introductions, and that plays well for what they *do* produce.
Ignore the boo-bird gallery on this reflector and note long term performance of other ham manufacturers including near death brushes or full on encounters with bankruptcy. Elecraft *grew* their business during the great recession. Financially stable and responsive to customers with great products. Hard to find combo, generally. Personally I'll let 'em do whatever they want (as if I could really affect that). They *might* put out a 1500, which I would buy in a heartbeat for the integration. But it wouldn't be a hacksaw job and it wouldn't put their balance sheet near the edge, and it *would* have gotten past all those issues that 1500's seem to be dogged with. 73, Guy On Friday, February 19, 2016, Clay Autery <caut...@montac.com> wrote: > Shhhhh...
