Agreed. The question is why do we care at all? Are we really just so ignorant/stupid/compulsive/psychotic that we fall for whatever the latest glossy trifold from across the western pond touts (or even, heaven forbid, the real thing)? Or fall for that one or two more crummy dB of marketing crappola or (in this case at least) 44 more push button controls and rotary controls (loosely)? Frankly, I hope the K4 or whatever it is doesn't go down that particular rat hole. Or are we just afraid that if we don't have whatever the masses (or even the experts) think is the cats meow du jour that our scores (well, your scores, since I just turn my fine k3 off during contests) will suffer? Mercy. Who gives a flip what the ugly black box is? :-) Grant/NQ5T ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
