One of the complaints regarding the Orion 2 was that it took an engineer to use it. A good friend was advised by a top operator in ARRL that he might better consider a PRO 3 than the Orion 2 which was too complex. The idea that the Orion 2 was to complicated is a falsehood but the rig took time to learn. This is also true for the K3 and maybe even more so. I noted in the past week a new K3 being sold because it was too complex for the owner. I have at times wondered why my K3 was not transmitting only to find that inadvertently some menu item had been changed. We have all seen similar problems on this reflector. Elecraft has done a fine job but it is hard to satisfy us all and I sympathize with the design dilemmas Elecrafter face.
Next week I may be looking for another feature so I hope you forget what EI2CN has written by then. 73 Doug EI2CN -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Grant Youngman Sent: 15 June 2009 18:51 To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 SSB Monitor Suggestion It seems to be the way of life that one person's requirement to "add more salt" run's head long into another's view that "it's quite salty enough". With so many cooks suggesting new seasonings, it's a wonder the Elecraft team has kept the soup flavored so well :-) Grant/NQ5T ______________________________________________________________ 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
