Re: [Elecraft] Just a thought...
Norm, I think you are seeing that the answer is: absolutely not! But the list traffic is light because the K1 is, well, a less complex radio. I'm finally getting around to adding the noise blanker to mine, but it's a six-bander -- with a board swap. Thank you, Elecraft! W/best regards, Pete P.S.

Hey Norm, are you kidding ? I operate every Elecraft i own and the K1 is the center of my QRP station. Look at the attached pic ;-) 73's de IW2NOY Graziano PS My K2 is doing a piit-stop in this period with Don W3FPR reccomendations, but soon it will go back on the air.

Re: [Elecraft] Just a Thought
I have been running K1 0291 for around 7 years now on 40 and 20 meters almost exclusively QRP Mobile. Have worked all over the world with this setup using only the K1 and Hamstick or Hamstick clone whips, mainly on 40. Just dabbled in the CW SS a couple of weeks ago with this setup for about 8 hours and made 99 QSOs in 45 sections including KH6 on 40. Have worked over 70 sections in past CW SS dabbling. I love the K1 QSK!

Norm, I can attest to the fact that you are not the only one still using the K1, it is still a very fine transceiver. The K2 is longer lived than the K1, it was the start of Elecraft in 1998, and is still in production 20 years later. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/13/2018 10:14 PM, Norm Lee wrote: Reading through all the posts on this list, it just occurred to me - am I the last person on earth to be running a K1?

Mike, I bet the equipment is donated and besides these non-USA manufacturers have been advertising and thus supporting the league for many years.They also make good gear but remember that there are one hell of a lot of K3, K2 and KX3 radios being used outside North America. Our hobby is world wide - DX is the driving point for many of us. Note also that ARRL remains aloof as it needs to if producing credible reviews in QST. Competition is good. The old USA manufactures lost it with SSB and solid state electronics for a number of years. Now there is a new group of companies really competing. I bet no one offers the service and attention to its customers that Elecraft does. The bar has been lifted and the standard of radios from overseas has also improved but can they match the personal touch of Eric, Wayne and friends?

Very well put and true.except when it comes to cars then it has to be a Carol Shelby 2013 Mustang again all AMERICAN MADE.

When I decided to become an active ham again, I looked at what was now available and landed in a big vat of Elecraft Kool-Aid. So many choices!

Plus, they just don't have the look and feel of an amateur radio. Okay, that pretty much dates me. I would like to have a K3/100 and all the accessories, but I can't afford that yet. Back in the day it would have been a Collins KWM-2A, but I couldn't afford that either.

If you had one of them you could trade for a dozen Porsche's and still have money left over. It was one of those cars that if you had to ask how much it was you couldn't afford it. Not like Elecraft radios and equipment where the highest performance is at the most reasonable cost of any. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 2573--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 8:30 AM To: 'Mike'; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Just a thought Mike, I bet the equipment is donated and besides these non-USA manufacturers have been advertising and thus supporting the league for many years. They also make good gear but remember that there are one hell of a lot of K3, K2 and KX3 radios being used outside North America. Our hobby is world wide - DX is the driving point for many of us. Note also that ARRL remains aloof as it needs to if producing credible reviews in QST. Competition is good. The old USA manufactures lost it with SSB and solid state electronics for a number of years. Now there is a new group of companies really competing. I bet no one offers the service and attention to its customers that Elecraft does. The bar has been lifted and the standard of radios from overseas has also improved but can they match the personal touch of Eric, Wayne and friends? Yes I am happy to see my country of birth and citizenship again producing quality ham radio equipment. It is natural to feel this way but my dream car is still a Porsche. 73 Doug EI2CN -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: 16 August 2013 11:30 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Just a thought Septembers QST arrived the other day and on page 13 is a run down of W1AW.

Re: [Elecraft] Just a thought
Tom, I have owned 2 Porsches, a 944 and a Boxster. I now have a Scion FR-S, and its cornering is awfully close, if not on a par, with those machines. Still dreaming of a 911, though. Monty K2DLJ NOTHING goes around a corner like a Porsche !!! My Mini Cooper S does a great simulation, but it is not a Porsche!

Re: [Elecraft] Just a thought
I thought the thing about Porsche 911s was that in the wet you have to go round roundabouts twice. (I suspect this joke won't traverse the Atlantic well, but never mind) I don't have a problem with Non-US radios in W1AW but I agree it would be nice to see an Elecraft radio there as well. Japan have dominated the market for some time because they have produced the best radios for the price. The investment has been enormous, supported by a large local market. Elecraft have only dented this dominance. We have to remember that even if the radio is designed and built nationally, many of the components will have been designed in Europe or Japan but manufactured in China or elsewhere. These days there is probably no such thing as an entirely American radio, or a Japanese one, or a British one.
