Hello Group, Again, I only spell out the fact and tell what I see in the China market next to my door.
If you feel it is theft, then it is theft. I would like to keep myself away from the discussion of intellectual rights in this reflector. Whether it is necessary to take any legal action against the copy cat, the entire matter will be in the capable hands of Elecraft. To reiterate, I have seen products in China similar (not identical) to K1 or KX1 at 1/3 to 1/4 of price in US. 73 Johnny Siu VR2XMC ________________________________ 寄件人﹕ Jim Brown <[email protected]> 收件人 "[email protected]" <[email protected]> 傳送日期﹕ 2009/9月/22 (星期二) 1:52:49 AM 主題： Re: [Elecraft] Ren+š RadCom, Chinese K1?

Stealing is stealing, and its wrong. Period. A company called Behringer is well known as a thief of other companies designs (even down to mistakes on the printed circuit board!). They have been convicted in court of doing so, and have settled out of court in at least one other case. The pro audio world avoids them like the plague. If this Chinese K1 is simply another ham's design of a QRP rig, that's fine. If it's a copy of another company's radio, it's theft, plain and simple. 73, Jim Brown K9YC Yahoo!香港提供網上安全攻略，教你如何防範黑客! 請前往 http://hk.promo.yahoo.com/security/ 了解更多! ______________________________________________________________ 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
