Hi, Mike: Be careful what you pray for. Once, after he had done something particularly cool, I suggested to Wayne that he run for President. He said that the first thing he would do as President would be to double the price of fuel and thereby end global warming.
I withdrew my suggestion for fear that someone in the U.S. found out that I was implicated. 73, Gary, VE1RGB -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of AD6XY Sent: December 4, 2009 4:25 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Broken AF knob and bad service to get a replacement. All this is very interesting. It certainly demonstrates the need for the continual product testing Elecraft undertake. Sending spares to remote regions with poor postal services, e.g. the UK is an expensive and slow business. The problem with the wrench - or hex key is a real one. It also applies to all the nuts and bolts used in the K3. For unknown reasons of patriotism the USA is non-metric so these are all in imperial sizes. Getting these outside of the USA is getting harder and harder. Failing Eric or Wayne running for president and changing this, and with Elecraft now becoming a major international force, would it not be better to use metric for new Elecraft designs?
