Hi Elecrafters... This is becoming redundant so will be my final post on this thread (I apologize for the consumed bandwidth). Suffice to say that each of us will develop an opinion of our own on this subject and it will likely differ from that of many others, and that should be just fine.
My shack happens to be equipped with several pieces of Elecraft gear, and I am very, very pleased with every single item. Regarding prices . yes, they are rather expensive, but I'm happy and I think the prices I paid were fair. My whole point to these posts has been that, even though we're talking about excellent equipment here, many beginning hams simply do not have the means to be able to buy these high end transceivers when they're trying to put their first station together. 73, Don, N5LZ -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Dave Sergeant Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2014 1:50 PM To: 'Elecraft List' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Is the KX3 a good choice for a new General? OK, I am not a beginner, but having worked 253 DXCC with 5W and very modest antennas on my K2 I would not agree with that statement....And I never find myself 'struggling', I just work the stuff. 73 Dave G3YMC On 6 Dec 2014 at 12:45, Don Butler wrote: > TMm of the opinion that QRP is NOT the best idea for a beginner > because it can often be very frustrating without an optimal antenna http://davesergeant.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to n...@comcast.net ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
