Here's a thought. Elecraft scores a hit with the K3, appealing to the general market but struggles under the mound of orders. Once-dominant Kenwood, buys the US-based company and moves production & testing to Japan. The K3 survives, Kenwood's presence in ham radio increases with no engineering effort on their part. Elecraft as a name disappears and unfortunately so does the innovation, forward-thinking and risk-taking that has made them such a great source of gear.
The solution? We all get assembly skills and go to work for Elecraft to make sure they have the production capability to keep up. And, of course, we'd get employee discounts :-) - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - -----Original Message----- From: Charles Harpole ... I just hope Elecraft can cope with the demand. Smaller companies have been covered up with orders that take them, unfortunately, down.... Hold on, Elecraft, we are pulling for you... the little engine that could.... or must. 73 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
