Eric, If one has the money, why not own them all? Then we can get user feedback. No lab stats. I own other equipment besides Elecraft as does Wayne and perhaps Eric, too. YaeComWood gave us the need for other manufactures. They have missed the mark for user needs. They fail miserably in the US for usability and testing. This is one of the major reasons Elecraft is so successful, not to mention the super team of designers, real users themselves.

I recently weighed my K2/10 and K2/100, both heavily accessorized. Together, they are a few ounces short of 10 lbs. Never again.

When it arrived I thought they'd accidently sent me TWO 950's in the same box. I had not paid any attention to the size and weight specs of the rig when I ordered it. It was so huge, there was no room for anything on the front of the operating desk once the 950 was in place. I boxed it up and sent it back. I was stronger then but knew that I would (hopefully) be growing old and would need help moving that beast. > > I recently looked at the specs of the 990 and knew it would be a back-breaker too. > > Terry, W0FM > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 2:09 PM > To: WILLIS COOKE; Bill; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] RES: TS-990 > > Anyone remembers the TS 950, then the 950 SD and finally, the TS 950 SDX? > > Could it be a repeat of the 950 series?
