Just curious: with mentions of other upcoming Elecraft products (e.g.,
power amps) in previous posts, is there a chance that Elecraft might
release a General Coverage receiver kit someday? I am wanting
something comparable to the Palstar r30, Icom r-75, etc., but would
much rather build an
I would like Elecraft to come out with two kits that Ten-Tec seems to want
to languish or discontinue:
1. Yes, a general coverage receiver. But 0-60MHz and AM/SSB/CW/FM.
Shortwave is still active and there are still many utility stations to tune
in, including RTTY. And the receiver has to
With the large number of give-away priced 2 meter rice boxes I can't
imagine why Elecraft would want to devote its resources to such a project. The
same is true of SWL receivers. I have a Radio Shack all band AM/SSB/CW receiver
that I recall cost me about $150.00. Admittedly it doesn't have

And price it at $500.00, which would be a reasonable price. It could even
be designed to use the same DSP and computer I/O as the K2.
A smart idea. I would buy one.
I already have an Elecraft GC receiver.. my KX1...
and smaller than my last SWL kit. a Heathkit GR-64 circa 1965. :)

Keith,
I am a bit surprised with Your 1kHz display resolution requirement its not
too much, no? K2 has 10Hz tuning resolution...

- Medium size or larger controls.
How big is that? To me, medium size means 1 diameter
for most controls and 2-3 for tuning.
Yep, sounds sweet to me.
The problem is that there's a conflict between that

This conversation has coincided with some decisions I have been making
radio-wise lately, FWIW.
Also being a member of the AM/Boatanchor croud, there always seems to be a big
push to get GC receivers. But I was listening to a friend recently on the air
who has owned an R-390A for years (arguably

We all want a K2-B (K2 with big knobs display) and I'm sure Elecraft

So how about another idea. I want a separate receiver in the shack.

How about a Kenwood TH-F6A? It fits your price point, has CW and SSB
coverage, and receives 0.1-1300MHz, and supports RS232 control so you
can use it for your computer control. Plus when you aren't using it as
a station monitor, you can use it on 2/1.25/70cm TX.

Yea, but looks aren't everything :-)
If Elecraft can build a transceiver for less than $300 that gives RX
coverage from 6 to 16 MHz
