I agree! Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, and even Ten-Tec, often get completely closed mouthed about flaws/problems. Once you buy one of those radios, it's pretty much a done deal until the "new and improved version comes out with some subtle feature additions, but also a bunch of glitch fixes! Elecraft tends to "lay it all out" on the table when things like this happen. Sometimes they may drag their feet a bit, but that's usually to allow themselves time to really verify that the problem does exist. Nobody is perfect, but you have to look long and hard to find a company that has been more forthright about issues, or more active in resolving them. Some might think they are overly aggressive about it, as when they focus on issues that, at least some of us, don't think are issues at all! I guess that's good though! It makes you better realize just how versatile the radio is.
