There are MANY great things about he Elecraft radios : I do not have to take it all or leave it : I order it or add options to suit what I want.
Even though I order it now, I can download the latest and greatest firmware and have the improvements as they become available. I don't have to wait until they think they have it perfect AND I don't have to settle for what they thought was perfect when they finally go there. It CAN be "fixed". I have been a technician all of my life and I love that I can go in and do the alignment and measurements for myself and even save a few bucks (important to me) by doing the assembly myself. The customer service is second to none. Who else actually responds to questions and answers them AND LISTENS to what is being said? We can actually TALK to real people that we can understand and that actually DO the work. The product rates TOP SHELF. Suggestions? Of course. There is something I would like to see BUT it doesn't rate anywhere near the priority level of the things that must be on the list at this time. Will I clutter the list by mentioning it now? No. Do I have to live without it because I ordered my radio now? Probably not. It can be written (IF they think it is worthy), downloaded and installed later. Am I willing to wait, of course. I would rather have them there for the long term than "getting tired of it" from too much pressure. We have a great group of people out there and I greatly appreciate them. At this time, I have only started the slowest procession of calendar days in my life. Carefully watching the order to ship dates duration and continually recalculating the arrival date of my own K3. Business interest in Elecraft? No, just that they are building my perfect radio (kit) and I want them to still be there in a year or two or ten.

It all takes time. In a year or two, The K3 will be a better radio with all the bells and whistles you want. It just takes time. We live in a linear time universe...and on this planet....time is a constant....which I am sure will be debated as well. I am not a physicist...but my Momma always said I had to wait until the cookies were done baking. "The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time."

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
