Hi Wayne, I am glad I started it as it has been an interesting read. I was a bit dubious at first about shelling out over AU$4600.00 (plus freight!) for an Amateur Radio transceiver made by a company that I had not even heard of. But in the end it all boils down to the rigs performance and its manufacturers support. Both of which it has in spades. Kudos to you, Eric and all the team at Elecraft for making (and allowing us to buy) what is arguably one of the worlds best Amateur Radio transceivers, the Elecraft K3.
Enjoy your holiday! Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF Innisfail, QLD, Australia Elecraft K3# 4257 + PR6 - K144XV = multiband goodness! Now, I just have to grit my teeth and wait until the KPA-500 gets here....... ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne Burdick To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 8:27 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] What made you decide on purchasing an Elecrafttransceiver? I'm on a little 2-day vacation up in Bear Valley, CA, with Lillian and the kids. I'm not allowed to work, but I've really enjoyed reading this thread. (Who wouldn't?) Thanks, everyone.... With your help, we hope our future products will also earn such praise. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
