The suggestion that K3 owners should consider placing their K3 on e-bay is not necessary.
Perhaps they might have considered that many HAMs own more than one radio and more emphasis could have been placed on "adding" the new Kenwood to their station rather than implying that K3 owners sell their K3 to fund a Kenwood purchase even before the full specifications of the new Kenwood have been published and prior to release of the TS-590. I thought it odd that ML&S found it necessary to even mention the Elecraft radio. I can't imagine what they hoped to achieve other than to promote the new Kenwood offering as the "best" radio available. Independant testing (Sherwood Labs, RSGB etc) will no doubt run their tests and if the Kenwood rates close to or even tops their list then this will do more for Kenwood sales than any advertising a dealer may make. I may have missed previous advertisements in the past where resellers have advertised a specific brand/model over another one. I can only assume that in this case ML&S sell major brands but as they do not sell Elecraft they felt it necessary to promote the idea of K3 owners selling their K3's and buying a product from ML&S. Whilst you/some may think I am being critical of ML&S, I would say that at first read I felt it odd that the K3 got a mention. Given my past work history it is not the wording I would have used. Further, I would have accentuated the positives of the new product I was advertising with no reference to any other manufacturer whether I was a reseller of those brands or not. I was simply making a comment and I make no apologies. 73's Gary On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 8:58 AM, Wes Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: > I had the same question. > > --- On Fri, 7/2/10, Al Lorona <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Al Lorona <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] rather provocative advert from Kenwood > To: > Cc: "Elecraft" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, July 2, 2010, 4:50 PM > > What was it about that ad that you thought was so negative? > ______________________________________________________ > > > > > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > -- Gary VK4FD - Motorhome Mobile http://www.qsl.net/vk4fd/ K3 #679 For everything else there's Mastercard!!! ______________________________________________________________ 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
