I would like to just share with the group a couple of experiences I had with 2 of the outside manufacturers on Elecraft's Other Mfg. Products page.
First let me say I had never met these people before and therefore am giving an objective opinion. I ordered a dust cover for my K3 from Rose Kopp, N7KHW. After several emails back and forth, Rose created the exact cover I was looking for. She embroidered the cover the way I wanted it and in the color I wanted. She sent me a picture of the embroidery to show me how it looked and asked if it was ok. At that point, I think if I would have said no and told her something else she would have scraped that and made another with no extra charge. She completed the work and had it to me within a week. I was very impressed and am very proud to cover my K3 with her product. I also ordered an engraved LCD cover plate from Ken, WB2ART. As with Rose, Ken and I exchanged a few e-mails back and forth. I asked him to match the color of the HOLD printing on the face of my K3 and he matched it very well. I ordered 2 and he also had them finished and to me within a week. I am sure some of you are thinking "So What!" Well, this is the first NEW rig I have ever owned in my 40+ years of ham radio. I was finally able to afford a good rig and the K3 was my only choice. I have used several different high end radios at the contest station of Tom, K8AZ. For the money I was very impressed with the K3. So being it is my first new rig I want to show it off the best way I can. hi hi 73's Tim Herrick, KQ8M [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
