It's their business, lock, stock and barrel. They could call their models Grumpy, Snotty and Snort if they wanted to. Ain't no laws and nuthin in the bible about it, except maybe can't name something with a cuss word or something on the FCC banned word list. No IEEE standards. Just so long as the copyright on the names ain't owned by someone else.
I'm just glad they came out with a technology leap beyond FT1000MP et al. I sure have enjoyed the improvements. And they pushed Yakencom so hard they all had to deal with it to compete so aficionados of other brands are finally reaping the benefits of Elecraft progress. I'm at least a bit of a curmudgeon, maybe more than a bit, and they treat me nice anyway. So why should I complain about what combination they pull out of the letter/number soup to name their babies? SXG4 R2.3 Q Twiddy 5 3 Slock 75 Names could be a LOT worse than KAT500. Me thinks some people will complain no matter what Elecraft does. They hate Elecraft so bad they can't stay off the Elecraft reflector. 73 Guy K2AV On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 7:18 PM, Mike Morrow <k...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Phil wrote: > > > Interesting analysis, Mike -- though relating the various *AT* acronyms > > to rigs is a bit mind bending :-) > > Don't I know it, Phil!
