2m is nice, but I'm with Frank; I'd love to know if a 70cm module will also be forthcoming. In my area, 70cm gets a lot more use than 2m.

Suppose I want 3 sensors to the W2, and don't want to buy a 2nd W2 just yet :-) Since the sensors connect to the W@ via CAT5, presumably they use RJ45s - could I just plug'n'play?

Re: [Elecraft] Sneak Preview: New Elecraft products - What?
Eric, All of the people at Elecraft are doing a fine job. The several times that I have called have always been a good experience, even the times that I called with something that I overlooked and should have been able to solve myself. Thanks to everyone out there for a quality product and fine service. We all are eagerly waiting for the next piece of equipment to be developed and manufactured because we know it will complement what we have in quality as well as reliability. Thanks again, Len K3LJ Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote: Guys - please, no more criticisms of other's postings. We appreciate the enthusiasm and support, but its not necessary or proper to jump on someone for criticizing something. Its OK to disagree, but keep it civil. Regarding what comes out when - we're running as fast as we can and do not have infinite resources. (And we're still working hard on numerous K3 enhancements.) I'd love to have another 10-20 engineers on staff, but I think we'll have to sell mucho more K3s for that to happen. So tell your friends about the K3 ;-) Some products take longer to develop than others. None of this is easy. Believe me, we'd love to have everything people want right now. Different engineers, with different expertises, are available for different products. That's what frequently determines what we can get out first. We were able to get the W2 and K144XV products out for Dayton without delaying our K3 enhancements and other projects. We have a lot going on on the background, so stay tuned.. As we get closer to other new products, well post here, but we do not want to over commit and will not give dates on anything new until it is close. It always amazes me how speculation on the internet gets perceived as fact once several people repeat it. The rumor mill rarely is accurate ;-) What 200W option?

Guys - please, no more criticisms of other's postings. We appreciate the enthusiasm and support, but its not necessary or proper to jump on someone for criticizing something. Its OK to disagree, but keep it civil. Regarding what comes out when - we're running as fast as we can and do not have infinite resources. (And we're still working hard on numerous K3 enhancements.) I'd love to have another 10-20 engineers on staff, but I think we'll have to sell mucho more K3s for that to happen. So tell your friends about the K3 ;-) Some products take longer to develop than others. None of this is easy. Believe me, we'd love to have everything people want right now. Different engineers, with different expertises, are available for different products. That's what frequently determines what we can get out first. We were able to get the W2 and K144XV products out for Dayton without delaying our K3 enhancements and other projects. We have a lot going on on the background, so stay tuned.. As we get closer to other new products, well post here, but we do not want to over commit and will not give dates on anything new until it is close. It always amazes me how speculation on the internet gets perceived as fact once several people repeat it. The rumor mill rarely is accurate ;-) What 200W option? Wow, that one is news to me. :-) I've been having a great time with my office K3 and K144XV on the local 2M FM repeaters. Surprised a few locals when I told them I was on a K3.. Its going to be a super option. 73, Eric WA6HHQ (Just getting to sleep at Dayton after traveling 18 hrs.) -- _..._ __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] Sneak Preview: New Elecraft products - What?
IMO Steve and others are correct, not 'whiny types' at all. I am also disappointed in their announcement. I find it hard to believe that people are actually complaining. Good grief! :-( There are lots of amps to buy. There's already a Panadapter solution. But there's only one integrated 2M adapter for the K3. I guess everyone has an opinion and an , or wishes they were a member of the Board's Product Committee ... or at least wants to believe they are already a member ...
