And PLEASE report all anomalies here also. As owners and perspective owners, we all need to know as much about our equipment investment as possible. The sharing of experiences and knowledge is the only means to accomplish this. Without sharing, we are in the dark. Thanks, Bill W2BLC

Bill, If you confine that to firmware that has been advanced to production status, I *might* agree. Keep in mind that the firmware is provided at no cost, so I cannot agree with your phrase equipment investment. The hardware is the equipment investment, and at Elecraft the firmware is

I've conducted many beta test cycles over the past couple of decades. I have software in beta now. Part of my beta test agreement states that Beta software is broken. Your job is to help find the problems so they can be fixed before production. More than a few times I've withdrawn

One should fully understand what Beta Testing means if they're thinking about running Beta software. It means that you may run into problems -- if you do a thorough job of testing, you most definitely will find them. If you aren't comfortable with that, then you really should not run beta

I'll let Don's comments re: Equipment Investment stand, I can't improve on them. I believe Don is right when it comes to beta releases. Having been on the receiving end of user issues with beta releases, we finally limited them to a small, fairly tight group who would hash out an anomaly and
