Perhaps it's either mojo or magic! Either way, it sounds exciting. Bruce - W8FU
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Rasmussen Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 2:20 PM To: Elecraft List Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Questions, some will be answered over time. 1. Why didn't Elecraft hire a marketing consultant to cost the K3 using prices ranging from $2499 to $8000? Don't they know that: a.) A higher price adds to ownership status and b.) They'd still be competitive??? I am upset that I purchased a lower priced radio than I can afford and Elecraft has some explaining to do. How smart is that? 2. Would having a weak sister second receiver lower your contest score as compared to competitors that have 2 good ones? 3. Are the other manufacturers upset, enough so that they might update their designs or would they start a new marketing campaign or series of ads in QST for their existing gear? 4. How many times is it acceptable for your contest radio to lock up in a 24 hour period? 5. How often is it a satisfactory solution that someone would do a "master reset" if their radio was behaving oddly over a period of days or weeks. 6. How is it possible for K3 to be ready to operate in seconds when the others need 20 times longer to calibrate the DSP? Is my DSP running uncalibrated? 7. How can a radio that is announced just before Dayton have a working model there (not one under glass) and planned production units in a matter of weeks after introduction? Enquiring minds. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
