Great recording. Just had to follow your email and listen to the sound at the same time. I have had my K3 for over five years now (Serial No. 4416), a kit that I put together myself, without ever having any problems whatsoever. For questions, a simple call to Elecraft Customer Support has sufficed, a reply with instructions and solutions, if any, have arrived within minutes. I have had Kenwoods, Icoms, Yaesus, Galaxy, Collins, you name it, and never ever have I dealt with such a dedicated company whose products are worth every penny I have paid for. They have to be commended for the high standards of quality and outstanding customer support. I have been a ham since the early sixties. My comment is based on my own experience. In all those years I have never dealt with a company and products that even compare to Elecraft. I only hope they are here to stay.
