[Elecraft] KX2 color option: Army green (olive)?

2020-03-16 Thread Wayne Burdick 
One of our customers who has outfitted units with KX2s is hoping we'll provide 
an Army-green case color option (olive drab). Note: We're not talking about 
camo -- just a solid color :)

To make such an option viable we'd need to know if there's enough demand, both 
military and otherwise. 

Please drop me an email if you might be interested, or have an opinion on this 
possibility.

Thanks,

Wayne

My Elecraft equipment is already olive drab — I favor black olives.

Several of us SOTA operators have asked for a high visibility color
option (orange or green-yellow). I think I would choose the current
charcoal over olive drab.

Being colorblind, I really don't care that much, however something that 
would stand out from "earthy" colors would be nice ... probably not so 
much for Special Forces, but it's very easy to leave something at your 
SOTA site 'cause you didn't see it while packing.


If you do make one in Army Green, will you also get an AN/XXX-nnn 
designator assigned?

That would make a great target.  Military is looking for things that 
don't stand out.  In  Vietnam we could not wear white t-shirts because 
it was too good of a target.
