Hum ! Did Yaesu, Icom or Kenwood are sending their products straight on line and provide such attention to their customers ? One more reason to be confident with Elecraft, a proud US company ! Great part of the succes is quality of service and Elecraft is on the way to carve out a crupper to our usual providers. They waked up my Ham spirit after too many decades using most of the "limousine" rigs available on the market. It's time to move to "Nascar" rigs and challenge for the "piston cup ".
