Gee DW - Those who have said in their review that they are unhappy have also said why they are unhappy. If you want more information on their evaluation, why not just ask them? Seems pretty simple. Very few on the reflector are mind readers! '73 -- Don N4HH
<SNIP> Hello, If you would have read the rest of the E-Mail, I commented that the majority of the low ratings were for the K2/100 dealing with SSB. That was my question, not the reviews on the K2 QRP version of E-Ham.

There are a lot of people who really do not think too much of the K2. One or two might be some crack pot, but there are a whole bunch of not happy users. All of the magazine reviews seem to love it. Comments on why the ratings have so many unhappy K2 users? I went to the eHam site, too. Here's what I observed. The K2 has reviews in two categories under Transceivers, HF. The category "K2" had 127 reviews, with an average rating of 4.9/5.0. My review is one of those 127, currently on page 2. The category, "K2/100" had 73 reviews with an average rating of 4.7/5.0. Under the category "QRP radios," there are 75 more reviews of the K2, with an average score of 4.9/5.0. Those numbers tell me there are a lot of very happy owners/builders of the K2, and very few "unhappy K2 users." As far as the reasons that the few are less than pleased, why not simply read the reviews for yourself? Just cut and paste all reviews in those three places that gave the K2 a less than perfect score of five. You won't have much reading to do. 73, Chuck Guenther NI0C K2/10 s/n 5853 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
