Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Buying CM500 in NYC
According to the website, 1PM is the time of closure on Fridays. They have to get people out of the store, before they can secure for the day, which takes time. 73 de Ray K2ULR On Dec 12, 2013, at 11:27 AM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: On 12/12/2013 11:06 AM, George Cortez wrote: Yes they (BH) are observant of the sabbath Make that strictly observant ... they close quite early on Friday afternoon depending on the time of year (local sunset).

Many thanks to the many who took time out to reply to my request.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Buying CM500 in NYC
Here's a good alternative I bought in UK as advised by Tom G3OLB, price might have changed: A good alternative I found for my K3, is the Koss SB/45, which is quite comfortable during long periods of contest operation and has an excellent quality electret mic. It's currently £20.98 free postage on Amazon. 73 David G3UNA - Original Message - From: GW0ETF gw0...@btinternet.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 10:16 AM Subject: [Elecraft] [K3] Buying CM500 in NYC Hi, Seems impossible to buy the CM500 in the UK so I was hoping to pick up a set when I'm in New York next February...anyone suggest a good source?

Yes, they're a good source.

I've bought various things from them for many years, always internet or mail order. Ditto experience. BUT - if one is in NYC, a visit to their enormous store - just about a block or so from Penn Station - is a once-in-a-lifetime experience not to be forgotten. I had to do that about 7 years ago to get a Nikon lens in a hurry to replace one that was damaged during a trip. Just remember that they do close late Friday and re-open on Sunday morning and similarly on Jewish holidays. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Buying CM500 in NYC
Hi Stew, Even if you decide not to buy the CS500, BH is a great place to visit. It is a tourist attraction in its own right. If you are a little interested in Photography BH has the greatest collection of photographic equipment I have ever seen. Here is a movie (Ad) on BH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmN6pBEfSIQ There are other NYC area stores too, Adorama for example. I have no interest except a satisfied customer of both photo gear and headsets from Adorama and BH. I have two CS500's and they are great at half the Illinois manufactures price (sorry to say). To my ears they are more comfortable too, to me that is their appeal. 73, Bill-AK5X On Dec 11, 2013, at 6:30 AM, David Cutter d.cut...@ntlworld.com wrote: Here's a good alternative I bought in UK as advised by Tom G3OLB, price might have changed: A good alternative I found for my K3, is the Koss SB/45, which is quite comfortable during long periods of contest operation and has an excellent quality electret mic.
