In the February 2008 edition of the RSGB RadCom magazine, the well
respected reviewer Peter Hart (G3SJX) reviews a loan receiver (not
bought anonymously like the ARRL do) from a UK ham radio dealer, it's
the £7000 JRC NRC-630 and even Peter admits Overall I was rather

Exactly!
My definition of a debacle is something like the Yaesu FT-1000 series of
key click generators that were allowed on the air. Yaesu was dragged
kicking and screaming over the course of five years into the realization
that there was a problem.
Fellow Elecrafters:
As several posters have noted, characterizing the situation as a
debacle is a bit extreme.
My apologies.

Good stuff. Makes sense. The piece that keeps getting me, is that
people, much more experienced than I, are selling $10,000 rigs, to buy
a $2,000-$3,000 rig. Makes me gohm ;)

I'm thinking that perhaps all those who ordered the sub receiver and
are unhappy at the additional delay should cancel their orders
forthwith. I know I would.

Then one email saying they understood where you were

It's a tough crowd Garry, and seemingly gets tougher

Exactly my thoughts. The basic K3 is such good value that I think this is
the way to go. I haven't worked out a solution for sharing an antenna but at
02:15 of the morning even my brain cells are way past it.

I agree that the delay in deliver is disappointing. I have a second
receiver on order too.
I also am disappointed by the lack of maturity of the firmware.
HOWEVER - I have a K3 (#70) and it is a joy to use. What it does, it does
VERY well and I still believe that the remaining

Fellow Elecrafters:
I have no doubt as to the integrity, honesty or technical excellence
of Elecraft, and am delighted with the K2 that I have been using for
the past two years.
As I posted on this list about 6 months ago, my impression of the
release of the K3 is that it is a lot like

I have tried to stay out of the noise on this but I felt I had to comment.
I know the delay in the 2nd Receiver is frustrating but I think the fact
that one of the owners of the company will mail the list to say that
they are reworking because they are not happy with the result is

It's still painful, all this waiting. But with respect
to the subreceiver it beats a weird alice design
w/marginal isolation pushed out early. You might
expect that in some of the competing manufacturing
