Re: [Elecraft] New product opportunity
Actually Stewart, I was making a serious suggestion, especially regarding the band stacking. Nothing wrong with symmetry either ;) 73 Ian -- Ian J Maude, G0VGS SysOp GB7MBC HB9DRV-9 DX Clusters Member RSGB, GQRP 9838, FISTS 14077 | K3 #455 http://www.m0scg.org.uk On 25 November 2011 10:54, GW0ETF gw0...@btinternet.com wrote: Or how about a selection of colours other than boring black for everything?

Re: [Elecraft] New product opportunity
The K1, K2 and XV series of transverters were a distinctive dark grey (gray) by which the mojo Elecraft products were easily identified. Unfortunately, things turned to black when the KX1 was introduced. Despite black often being associated with death, Elecraft gave its reasons at the time. Personally I was sorry to see the change to black which makes the equipment less distinguishable from the opposition. On the other hand, as far as coordinating with the decor in you shack, one could say that black goes with anything (except black). 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, GW0ETF gw0...@btinternet.com writes Or how about a selection of colours other than boring black for everything?

Re: [Elecraft] New product opportunity
I think we already had our hint, when it was mentioned that the KAT500 was the same height as the W2. 1.5 high station monitor, anyone? To REALLY put the nail in the coffin (Yaesu, cough, cough) it could have stereo speakers (ducks boat anchors lobbed at him). 73, -- Dave, N8SBE Original Message Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New product opportunity From: Jim Rhodes jimk...@gmail.com Date: Wed, November 23, 2011 8:36 am To: Ian Maude i...@gb7mbc.net Cc: Elecraft List elecraft@mailman.qth.net Or even a KAT500 size box so I could build my own switch box.
