Re: [Elecraft] Sneak Preview: New Elecraft products - What?

 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.

One gets the impression, Eric's office is more like a home,  
considering how much time he and Wayne must spend there !

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

This not a very kind comment.  Guess what...they are running their own 
business!  They can do what they want.  I think it is great they have a nice 
watt meter for sale - and the two meter option is great too. Who needs a 
stinkin' panadapter?  I make Qs without one.  Gee, can you whiny type guys give 
Wayne and Eric a break?  I find this comment to be unfair and just noise to the 
reflector.  Try griping to the President and CEO of Yaesu, Kenwood, or Icom..  
You won't get far.

Tuning off frequency now.

I much agree that a panadapter would or should have been on their priority list
rather than what they've just announced especially the wattmeter portion.

Re: [Elecraft] Sneak Preview: New Elecraft products - What?

2009-05-13 Thread Grant Youngman

 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 ...
