My K3 died a couple of weeks ago after I installed the 2m module. I guess my static electricity protection was lacking although I did the work on a static mat and had my wrist strap on all the time, grounded to the station ground. In any case, I sent the K3 to Elecraft, got a confirmation email fr

[Elecraft] Kudos to Elecraft service

I just had some repair done to a component for my K3 and wanted to mention to the list what good service it was. Nice to find products as well supported as this. Gary KA1J __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/li

[Elecraft] Elecraft Service + KX3

Over the weekend I online-ordered a BL2. Got an email today from Madelyn Gomez at Elecraft about a problem with my credit card. Turned out to be a bad expiration date. My fault - one of those "correctly incorrect " errors that are difficult to program for. I was concerned I'd made the same k

VE3VAW said. -Lastly, if you have an older K3, be prepared or able to do or willing to farm out the K3 IF I/0 modification. Yes, its only a resistor change, but for me the SMD caught me blind-sided and I messed up. I killed some board traces, killed the SMD JFET etc. Not pretty, not my f

Folks - Let's close this thread. As noted below, he has been a customer since 2004. He recent accessory purchase was his first since then. Since he killed off his primary email address, we are trying to reach him though all of the email addresses he has used in the past. Once we reach him, we'l

Re: [Elecraft] : OT: Legendary Elecraft Service - not!

Actually he's been on the list as far back as 2004, though not all that common a poster. His current (May '11) QRZ blurb shows him as a K2 owner, into using it as a data modes platform. He did go through the ZL earthquake earlier this year. There was some text that hinted at losing employment bec

Re: [Elecraft] : OT: Legendary Elecraft Service - not!

Not sure what this guy's problem is, but if he's been on this list "over time," he should know that Wayne and Eric stand behind what they sell. If I were them, I'd be more irritated that the guy came on the list, tossed out all of this garbage, and didn't give any explanation of what the problem

It would appear that ZL3IN immediately deleted his email address after he posted his rather petulant message. It's a dead address now. Dave AB7E On 6/7/2011 3:40 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > Paul, > > The buck stops with myself and Eric. If you have a complaint about our > customer service,

Re: [Elecraft] Legendary Elecraft Service - not!

Seems to me there some on this reflector that do not know the difference between doing business with a Company and a Corporation.  The guys at Elecraft know that success is a journey not a destination. Try to do the best always..you bet they do.  Go visit them at their facility you see it first
