Russell,
You're being unfair. You got a direct response (and on the weekend, too)
from Wayne, N6KR, one of the two OWNERS of Elecraft, and who is the
designer of the KX3. Try that with any other company. His response was
honest, direct, and not at all unreasonable. He understands the market
for his products, he understands the cost of a "hardened" radio, and he
knows that his customers don't need it and certainly would be unwilling
to pay the high added cost. I suspect that, with your electronics
background, if you looked at the radio in question, you would agree.
Elecraft is a small company, they make a small range of products, all
primarly aimed at the HF ham bands, all are designed and built in the
US, and they don't sell through dealers that add cost to the consumer.
73, Jim K9YC
