Definitely short-sighted. This position will change as more hams wise up and realize how this little upstart company makes rigs that stomp theirs flat at a fraction of the cost. I'm kicking myself for wasting my money thinking that an Icom 7700 was better than the K2, let alone the K3. An

[Elecraft] FB FD TNX 2 K2

2004-06-27 Thread BobDobson
All: I have a feeling I'm not the only one who had an outstanding FD thanks to the Elecraft K2. I for one have about the puniest signal anywhere thanks to an all-too-common lack of real estate to erect proper antennas. Nonetheless, I absolutely love Field Day. Like many people these days, I

I keep asking myself if I really want to plunk down the bucks for one of those monsters, and the answer I give myself is "the Orion you have isn't 4 times better than the K2 (more like 1.01X), so what makes you think the IC-7800 will be 10 times better?" In my case, I'd be far better off spending

Bear in mind that the Hakko 808 is a DEsoldering station, not a soldering station. It is WAY better than the manual "solder-suckers" out there; you just have to be willing to cough up the bucks. 73, Bob WA4FOM ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecra

Just what Don said. I have both, I use both, and I love both. The two kits are a snap to build and Marshall supports his products VERY well. 73, Bob WA4FOM ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post

Re: [Elecraft] Question about KNB2 Noise Blanker

2005-01-01 Thread BobDobson
For what it's worth, with just one button press, my KNB2 will blank out some pretty ugly pulse noise where I live that the blanker in my Ten-Tec Orion only barely touches. Not bad for one dinky little board, in my opinion. 73 all, Bob WA4FOM ___ Elecr
