Re: [Elecraft] RE: We are not talking about a small amount ofmoneyhere
I received an e-mailed copy of my order as confirmation ... Then another copy of my revision/addition to the initial one, along with a personal note from Lisa. FWIW, Lisa rates an attagirl and a raise. No doubt -ALL- the Elecraft folks deserve the same ... Lisa's just the most visible. 73!

To quote one of G4AON's countrymen, Methinks thou doth protest too muchand you might also want to make sure your ISP or SPAM filter is not blocking elecraft.com. This mailing list's spam filter has blocked 3 attempts by me to reply to this thread. I think spam filters are more likely to be blame for the lack of communication being complained of than any failings at Elecraft. LOL. This is the kind of blind, pie-in-the-sky loyalty and defensiveness I'm talking about. :-) I love Elecraft as much as anyone but they're not infallible and blameless. Like I said before, my last order was really messed up, and my last email to Lisa regarding my K3 order has gone completely unanswered. That's fine; I know they're busy. But I don't blame the Internet, George Bush, or global warming for Elecraft's occassional problems. Instead I'm able to believe they might have messed up, because they're people. :-) Or it could be Hillary Clinton's fault. :-) Yeah, that's probably it. Eric's recent post straightens out all the K3 questions. Your credit card statement is your deposit receipt. You'll be contacted about a week ahead of shipping to verify the details. You'll get a final invoice with your K3. Pretty simple.

With all due respect to Elecraft, I would think that a prudent person would treat the rollout of a radical new piece of gear in much the same way as one treats a new release of Windows. There is no use buying it until its been on the market for at least two years, so that the vendor can get the inevitable kinks out of both the product, and their sales/support of it. 73, Steve Kercel AA4AK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

John: I'll admit that there is virtually no chance of Elecraft losing a billion dollars (or any money at all) by releasing a system before it is ready. 73, Steve AA4AK At 02:37 PM 7/8/2007, W2AGN wrote: Stephen W.
