[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft reflector group!!!
Dear all, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on the reflector list that has taken the time to answer my questions. It's this level of support and interaction that I really appreciate and enjoy. This reflector group played a huge role in helping me decide what my next rig should be, and that is the K3. I now know that if I should ever run into a problem with my radio, someone will be out there willing to help. With that said, I'm going to place my order first thing tomorrow. and after that, the hard part of waiting for the UPS delivery man begins. :-) 73 and thanks again!

Re: [Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft reflector group!!!
Excellent reasons to post an *answer* ON the reflector. 1) Without going into people's motives, from time to time someone will make a mistake answering a question for another. They'll make a wrong assumption or simply be incorrect in their understanding. When that answer is posted publicly, others will read and correct it and *everyone* benefits. 2) Some claim off-line posts reduces the number of messages, but my experience suggests that just the opposite is true. For every question asked, there are several wondering the same thing. One answer on the reflector answers them all and often even brings up other questions. And that's what it's all about. Eric does not tolerate flames or even consistently impolite behavior, making this forum is a safe place for newbies and experts alike to talk in public. I will disagree with Jim on one point. I've followed this reflector since 2000. From time to time we've had someone spend time here who is very hard to interact with, but they never seem to last very long while there are a lot of great guys who have been around here longer than I such as Tom N0SS and Don W3FPR. (My apologies to many others whose calls/names don't come to mind immediately who also take their time to provide meaningful and useful answers. I know it's a rather long list.) Interacting with others here feels much like a virtual club meeting with a lot of friends old and new, some of whom show up only occasionally and others who are here almost every day.

Re: [Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft reflector group!!!
It's also hugely important that the Owners of Elecraft, and principal designers of the radio, regularly read the reflector, pay attention to their customers problems, needs, and desires, and actively respond both with solid answers, and with solutions in the form of the evolution of the radio! This communication is the primary reason why the K3 runs rings around its competitors, and at a fraction of the cost of the best competitve products. And its the reason why most serious contesters and DXers are dumping other radios to buy K3s. 73, Jim Brown K9YC --Original Message Text--- From: James Sarte Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:28:28 -0500 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on the reflector list that has taken the time to answer my questions. __ 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] Thank you Elecraft reflector group!!!
You're kidding right? I'm pretty new to the ham world and have only observed that most on this list are true elmers and gentleman (and ladies). I feel bad if you've had a bad experience here,but I would think that there was a gross misunderstanding or misinterpretation under way here. Don't forget that these guys put their advise out there out of the goodness of their heart and do not receive compensation for their time. Maybe you just got advise from someone in a hurry or somewhat distracted so it seemed curt but it was well intended. Chill out - this is a great group of people. I'm sure it is just a non-face to face , internet thing :-) Like I said, I'm pretty new but if I can help you (or anyone) I will.
