I have been an active HAM since about 2000. After a brief and very unsatisfactory experience with a Kenwood 2000, all my HF rigs have been Elecraft and I have always gone kit.
I currently own a well-populated K3 with some of the K3s modifications. I am less concerned about bells and whistles than pure performance. Can I hear them? Can I penetrate through under adverse conditions and get a QSL? Elecraft has always delivered and has always been at or near the top in performance. I have confidence with Elecraft that I am at the top in quality and when I can't get through it is not the fault of the radio. I know this is a smart company. It is an American company that has survived and excelled in a market dominated by foreign competition. On top of it, this is an organization that listens to and takes care of its customers. If something goes wrong they will help me sort it out and fix it. And they will do it for a reasonable price. I don't see myself ever going anywhere else. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dick Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 6:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K4 And after reading all the comments on “why buy a K4, or even Elecraft when I have Icoms et al, etc.” . Well I haven’t heard anyone say “MADE IN AMERICA”. And as previously stated so well, add boards anytime to update or add desired features without having to pay for another “box” to house all the interiors. Of course this is in MHO. 73, Dick, W1REJ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
