If you think that, I can refer you to a hobby group about applying
technology to railfanning where simple requests for set-up assistance
(usually by a newbie) usually get a moderator's response "rea

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Purpose of this group
This group is more about sharing the experience of using Elecraft
products, making suggestions for product improvements, offering other
members advice on best operating techniques, and so much more. Want a
suggestion on which mic to use with your K3s? How to setup memories for
cw ops? Use exte
The purpose is somewhat broader than technical support, though technical and
operating information about Elecraft products is central.

It does if you get individual emails, but not if you get a digest, which
is why I don't use the digest mode.

The purpose of this group is what the moderator says it is.

my two cents:
I do virtually NO HF and NO CW, so why do I subscribe? Because I own
a K3, KX3, and KXPA100. So, yes, the occasional tech discussion is
one that interests/impacts my stuff. But I find some of the OT
interesting, though HF contests/DXing are not particularly.

As a NON-Elecraft owner, I thought I would chime in. I too, enjoy both the
technical, as well as the Off-Topic well - erm, topics. I just thought I
would copy information taken directly from Elecraft's website (

As far as 'purpose,' I don't recall that Elecraft has ever made a formal
statement on the matter. I for one appreciates 'some' of the other than
'Elecraft technical' that goes on.

I have every list email I have received since 1992. I have been able to
re-build list archives. I have never understood this ‘bandwidth’ or size limit
garbage. Most have nearly unlimited bandwidth and more storage than needed for
email. I find digests and web views more offensive.

few groups I follow. Maybe an odd thing but I like to follow the OT
comments on the weekends.

Nor do I but I think this group is excessively over moderated. OT discussions
are usually the most interesting but causes the moderator to have issues.

Yes and yes, plus many of us are quite practiced in using the delete key.
I own a K3s and I have no difficulty in skimming through the comments that are
beyond my interests. But, I have found interesting, informative and
instructive topics, often not related to my K3s.
Your milage may differ…
