Soundly seconded! I also like the fact that my dollars went to folks who live, work and spend their earnings right here in the USA. I felt that way before the economic crisis when I purchased my K1 & K2 and feel it is especially critical now that we do all we can to support our own infrastructure.
Just drive around town... ANY town and witness all the "mom & pop" stores that closed down because we wanted to take advantage of those bargains from that huge mega-chain (Pick any one.) with all the cheaply imported goods and their IT and/or telephone customer service departments outsourced offshore. Additionally, check out how they treat their labor. I'd rather spend a few bucks more, thanks. Wayne and Eric, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm diggin' signals out of the noise floor that I never even heard before at a reasonable cost AND my hard earned dough (or a portion thereof, at least) is making it to a dinner table right here in the USA; NOT Tokyo or Osaka. As always, take care es...
