I applaude any company presenting a new receiver, but it seems to have become a very unprofitable or uncertain market. On the other hand you might say a receiver is a step-up platform for future hams who will choose a tranceiver with receiver brand experience.
The last Icom "ham" receiver was the R75? The last Yaesu the FRG100? The last Kenwood the R5000? The last Drake? It's such a pity the receiver market declined so much. Personally I listen 95 percent of the time. I agree it would be brave and very respectable if Elecraft would present a serious receiver based on the company's proven technology. The good news: AOR and (ex Lowe's/AR7030) John Thorpe will be releasing a new HF receiver soon. And it will be one WITH knobs :-) 73' Paul PD0PSB -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Any-Consideration-of-a-Receive-Only-K3-tp4704530p4704754.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
