Re: [Elecraft] RES: TS-990

[Bill K9YEQ]

Eric,  

If one has the money, why not own them all?  Then we can get user feedback.
No lab stats.  I own other equipment besides Elecraft as does Wayne and
perhaps Eric, too.  YaeComWood gave us the need for other manufactures.
They have missed the mark for user needs.  They fail miserably in the US for
usability and testing.  This is one of the major reasons Elecraft is so
successful, not to mention the super team of designers, real users
themselves.

My old TS-930S was 40 lbs and dominated the top of an executive desk. I
recently weighed my K2/10 and K2/100, both heavily accessorized. 
Together, they are a few ounces short of 10 lbs. Never again.

It is on the Sherwood receiver site. Took me a moment to find it.
Hint, it is not near the top of the pile.

[Scott Manthe]

It is supposed to be a continuation of the famed 900 series of rigs. 
However, it seems that while the audio might be wonderful, the RX specs 
don't seem to be up to par with the other top of the line modern rigs.

I certainly resemble that remark.  I am working on getting my strength back.  
The next objective is getting to where I can open a jar of pickles without

The best way would be by rail then via ship to China/Japan?

I had wondered for some time why there were no advanced test numbers on this
radio like most everything else. Japan are where you see the first ones
nothing at all there now we see the reason why.
