In Europe, I like the 40 meter band. In SE Asia, 20 m usually works well. While I love the existing pruduct range, I do miss monoband CW transceivers. And when it comes to manufacturing, why no pack a K2 into something smaller than the KX3? Just dreaming... 73 de Chris KF6VCI HS0ZFE

The president of my club, Charlie GI4FUE is selling his loaded K2 and a KAT 100-1. As there is no tune button to press, is the KAT 100-1 usable for other transceivers? It's a marvel and adding such an interface would boost its usefulness in a shack! 73s, Chris KF6VCI

[Elecraft] K3 purchase? By all means - drive this rig while you learn for the ticket!

Hello Sam, life is too short and I heard 40 m has been good recently. The K3 is illegal in Thailand; only the K2 is type approved. A borrowed Ft-757 DX plus some wire to the balcony does not even bring up the BBC on 6.195 sending from Singapore! To operate, I need to go to HS0AC, the club

[Elecraft] Hoping for an Elecraft SALE event

Time will tell how prices will change. But Elecraft has a unique position in the market... While Kenwood lowered their price for the TS-480 SAT for example over time globally. But then, the K2 and now the K3 gets perpetually improved and the line gets expanded. Why not add hundreds of K3 orders

[Elecraft] OT: following Amazon's lead regarding FOREX fees on international orders by cc

Hello Guys a fair share of K3s and other kits are sold overseas. The buyers' credit cards are denominated in some other currency like GBP, AUD or EUR. Henceforth, their bank often charges up to 2% for the currency conversion. On a $ 2,500 order that's $ 50! If Elecraft could get their cc

I ordered a K2 and a K3 and fancy other Elecraft kits, too hi. But the K2 is on back order for a few more days, so the question about the ATUs arose. Would you recommend each rig to have its own ATU? A fairly resonant antenna won't need tuning, right? Would the T-1 handle end fed wires okay? I
