Elecraft is overseas for me, 6000 some miles distant and their service is superb! Living in California, I sure would lust for a Porsche. 73 Doug EI2CN A humble Polo driver

Until the decision is made to NO LONGER SUPPORT. -Up grades ALWAYS cost more than the original parts had they been put in the original product. -When you have a true simple question because of clarity. How do you call, how long do you wait on the phone, and can you understand them when they speak to you. -In the last 3 weeks if have contacted a large computer company for software problems and when it was over "3 hours later" I was worse off and had to figure it out my self. I have asked the tech at the company to call me on the matter and never received a return call. At least 4 times and 3 different tecks. -The farther over seas the company is the more problems the customer has. -Beta testing is done by the customer who buys the product not the a selected group before it is made available to the public. When a problem is found it is covered up and not solved--unless you send it back to a factory and it may or may not get repaired. -How many companies really read and respond to problems written in their forms on their web sites. By respond I mean fix the problem or offer a solution free of charge. TO ALL WHO READ THIS POST: ELECRAFT DOES NOT DO THE THINGS THAT OTHER COMPANIES DO. THEY ARE TRYING VERY HARD TO MAKE IT A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AND THE DO HAVE THE CUSTOMER AND SERVICE OF THEIR PRODUCTS IN MIND. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS COMPANY FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEY DO CARE. I WAS NOT ASKED TO WRITE THIS POST BUT FELT DUTY BOUND TO DO SO! SO I SAY, HANG IN THERE WITH ELECRAFT AND YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCTS AND THE SERVICE.
