RE: [Elecraft] Spilling the HF beans .....
When I worked for Dominion Semiconductor (Toshiba/IBM joint venture) one of the IBM engineers related that same story to me. Basically Gates didn't have anything but knew where to get it. Even as an 18 year old geek is was a shrewd businessman.

RE: [Elecraft] For sale?
Jeez if this is the winning slogan then I would hate to see the losing entries. I haven't been on the reflector long enough to have seen this come up but I'll second the poor choice comment. And some were asking if they got a free one for being in the first K3 run??? Wow, that's all I can say.

RE: [Elecraft] KX1 assembly (part 1) photos
Nice photo diary John. Today is the day I ask the wife if I can get a K2; cross my fingers she says yes. That way I can have the same feeling you are having.

RE: [Elecraft] loaded K2 vs K3
Gee thanks Doc!, Here I come to the conclusion that the only way for me to convince the wife to let me have a radio that has more than one band was to get a base K2. The reason being that then I could add to it over the months, get the SSB, and wait awhile get the 100 watt amp etc. and have a decent base rig. I can't get my wife to understand one might need to spend some money on a rig; she seems to think I should find something in the $500 range not the $1000 range. Man do I envy you guys who can just drop whatever and get the top of the line stuff.
