I suspect that there are quite a few of people around the world who would like to test drive a K3 before actually buying one, and many of them don't live near anyone who already owns one. It might be helpful (that's what this list is for, right?) for someone to set up a K3 with remote control capability so that anyone anywhere could at least listen with it using HRD or similar rig control software. It wouldn't necessarily have transmit enabled, but it could demostrate what is probably the rig's premium capability ... it's receive performance.
And although users wouldn't be able to directly check the ergonomics of the K3, they might be able to do so indirectly. As many K3 owners have already pointed out, once you have the K3 set up the way you want it there isn't a lot of need to change anything while operating it ... particularly during a contest. Even remote operation of the rig would help confirm that. Just a thought. Has anyone already done something like this? 73, Dave AB7E ______________________________________________________________ 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
