Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
I want one in Isuzu Proton Yellow to match the color of my 2001 Vehicross. It will compliment my yellow driving jacket, writing pen, beach towel, caps, travel bags, and the Pennzoil motor oil. Hopefully Ken (N0PP) and Rose can provide a matching cover in that color also. 73, Henry - K4TMC K3/100 #98 ** Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Another thought on this... Maybe those who want to chose the color of their radio should consider the Hilberling PT-8000.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
Personally, I think black is a very classy color. I'd even like to have a black automobile, notwithstanding the fact that I live in the Arizona desert! I prefer K3 black to K2 gray, but I suppose that's just me. Black is a neutral color (as are colors like tan and gray), but I think it contrasts better with other colors better than other neutral colors do. Black is actually the absence of color, so I guess that's why it works that way for me. Anyway, I vote to keep rolling out the products in black. But if you want colors, take a look at that new german transceiver (Hilberling? or whatever). It costs a fortune, but I saw it at Dayton, and you can get it in all sorts of colors--some were pretty wild! Personally I thought some of the offered colors would only look good in a bordelo, but everyone to his or her taste!

How about offering the case in different colors? White, Gray, Black, Midnight Blue, Deep Red, Mauve? It would be a first in hamdom wouldn't it? I can't recall ever having a choice of color when buying ham gear. If we went with metallic finishes, then we could do brushed aluminum or maybe anodized in gold, blue, red or green. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
Not practical, ea? Yea, you're probably right. Having suggested it, I wonder how much my local body shop would charge me to strip / refinish the existing top, sides, bottom to be something fun. I'd pick dark red, myself. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 Wave 3 - -Original Message- I like the idea, it has merit, but I doubt that it would be practical and that it would increase sales because I have to have the White K3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
As it is currently constructed, the K3 in finished in a variety of different textures. Black is a good color for minimizing those differences; other colors might not manage the task as well. 73, Steve NN4X On 2/26/08, Darwin, Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why not?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
heh .. I was considering bringing a new refrigerator to the body shop to get the sides repainted (why do they only make stainless steel refrigerators with black sides?). Unfortunately I was unable to pursue, got vetoed by KB7MFM :) de w1rt/john On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 10:12 AM, Darwin, Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not practical, ea? Yea, you're probably right.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
I'm ready to buy a set of K3 panels in the K1/K2 gray ... Perhaps Aptos could produce a few K2 color-schemed cases w/front panels ... It's surprising to see the different color tastes reflected in the fabric and thread colors chosen by Rose's case orders. 73!
