I'd say the K3 is already in the hands of some great contesters. From the postings I've read, contesters have already taken notice. Word of mouth and results from the first batch of users will be icing on the cake.
ARRL does purchase the radio they review. A solid technical review would not rely on contesters experiences, although they might be noted in the review. A mis posted response to an email is not endemic of an issue any more than a banner really means "Mission Accomplished". I wish I had all the free time some folks have... have a heck of a lot of antenna work that needs to be done before the contests ;o) 73, Julius n2wn _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
