Re: [Elecraft] Thank you to Elecraft

2018-08-06 Thread Michael Blake via Elecraft
This has been a very interesting thread for me.  I too am a very satisfied 
elecraft customer, mainly as a result of EXCELLENT service.  I have a T1, SG3, 
KX3, PX3, K3s, SP3, KPA500 and KAT500.

When the KX3 was about 10 months old I noticed that a couple of the yellow 
painted letters on the face plate were popping off.  The faceplate was quickly 
replaced. My KPA500 had a very unusual fault in that 4 of the PEM nuts in the 
bottom chassis plate were the wrong thread size.  Once diagnosed the bottom 
plate was quickly replaced I I rebuilt the amplifier.  After about 6 months I 
turned on the station and keyed a couple of “dits” on the paddle and the KPA500 
blew the tops off of both output FETS.  Elecraft quickly had a replacement 
power module on the way to me.

This week I finally figured out that a distorted SSB audio report I received 
since I built the K3s as really present only when using more than 12 watts 
output.  Whenever the KPA3A kicked in there was a noticeable distortion on my 
signal.  You guessed it, a replacement KPA3A module was in the mail and should 
arrive this Wednesday,

Their service is excellent and I am a VERY SATISFIED customer.  My wife’s 
comment, on learning that I was waiting for another replacement part, was “you 
certainly seem to have a lot of problems with that stuff”.

Go figure :)

Oh yeah, I am also a MAC lover :)

Over the years I have owned most everything and dealt with all the 
various manufacturers. None have been more pleasing to work with than 
Elecraft. NONE!!!


Some hams look at the bottom line as price. Myself, I look for QUALITY. 
Quality of the product and quality of the after sale service. Needless 
to say, I am totally pleased with my purchases from Elecraft.

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. 

Don't hesitate to join in and let the good times roll (on)...

Re: [Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft reflector group!!!

2009-02-11 Thread Jim Brown
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.

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.

Take care  73,
Dave W8FGU

 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. :-)

James,

Don't get to cozy with others out here as sometimes you'll pose a particular 
question and SOME
GUYS who have been out here (WAY TOO DAMN LONG), being the original K3 users, 
WILL definitely 
CRAP ON YOU aka referring
to your INTELLIGENCE as DENSE!!!

So my own advice as a relatively NEW K3 OWNER is take everything with a grain 
of salt and
PLEASE read between THEIR LINES!!

I already owned an ARR GaSFET and patched it in at the RX OUT/IN 
loop. It works very well. My guess is that you'll be quite happy 
with the one you own. Save your money and buy Billie Holiday 
records. :)

I have a SSB Electronics SP-6 GaAs-Fet preamplifier that I will try 
first and then look at the Elecraft model because of compatibility.

Bill,

Congrats and welcome to the world of the Elecraft Mojo. You are no longer
non-technical if you built this fine radio. I have #5099 and enjoyed all
aspects of building, testing and operating the K2. You will no doubt have
many fun hours with your K2 and enjoy the learning process of not only how
to operate it but how it works as well.

Good luck and enjoy.

Take care  73,
Dave W8FGU

 Hello All:
 
 Just to let you know K2, s/n 6301 is now complete!  Final Tuning of
 filters
 and Antenna Tuner to be completed this week, when my elmer returns from
 Orlando.  It will be several weeks for me to put up  a G5RV and perfect my
 cw.  But I hope to be on the air by March 10.
 
 Over the past several months while building my radio, I have read this
 forum
 daily.  I want you all to know that the support I received from everyone
 at
 elecraft and the torroid guy was fantastic.  Scott, at elecraft got to
 know
 me, well but no mattar how silly my question, I had the help I needed.
 Coupled with the advice on this forum, I was able to build my K2 and it
 was
 my first build.  Thank you to all and Thank you to Elecraft for putting
 out
 a product that a nontechnical newbie can build.  Now I just have to learn
 how to use it! Hi Hi!
 
 73 to all
 
 Bill  KE5KWE

 Hello All,
 Just signed in to say a big thank you to Don Wilhelm
 for all his help over the last few weeks. I have
 completed K2 No 5914 and could not have done so
 without Don's great patience and skill. Also a thank
 you to all at Elecraft, I have never come across such
 excellent service before, it is so refreshing in to
 days world. Again a big thanks to Don. The K2 rx is
 superb even on European 40 meters. I am one very
 chuffed Amateur.
