Canceled my K3, bummer.
Locked
 
|
I canceled my K3 order. With the price of food and fuel along with everything
else, I figured it would be smart to hold off for now. The good news is that I still have my K2 which is a terrific rig and I'm guessing that everyone else gets bumped up another notch! I still plan to buy a K3, it's just not going to happen as soon as I wanted.

Hello Gary, It's ok. Perhaps, you will be able to get a more mature K3 later. Bearing in mind, K2 becomes 'stabilised' after s/n 4xxx. cheers, Johnny Siu VR2XMC --- 2008年7月31日 星期四，Gary D Krause <[hidden email]> 寫道﹕ > 寄件人: Gary D Krause <[hidden email]> > 主題: [Elecraft] Canceled my K3, bummer. > 收件人: "Elecraft" <[hidden email]> > 日期: 2008 7 31 星期四 下午 9:24 > I canceled my K3 order.

Hmmm ... you could have taken your "K3 slot" in the queue, bundled it with others who need to cancel, create a group of "K3 Backed Securities," used them as collateral for a bond issue, and then bought a slot back, getting the original K3 and all the while feeding your family and fueling the car. After all, it worked just super with mortgages. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2008 Cal QSO Party 4-5 Oct 08 - www.cqp.org _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Maybe you could have put your order on "hold" to keep your spot in the queue
and then reactivate when economic condx allow. Maybe too late now, but that was an option earlier this year. Gary W7TEA

With the current recession (sorry credit crunch), I am thinking
about making my K3 available for hire for contests and DXpeditions :-) 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:26:14 -0700 (PDT), W7TEA wrote: > > Maybe you could have put your order on "hold" to keep your spot in the queue > and then reactivate when economic condx allow.

I wish to applaud those who are deciding to put family budgets ahead of
ham radio purchases. Family needs ALWAYS come before hobbies. Always. The bell-curve peak for amateur radio seems to be middle-age (according to my log book, anyway) or maybe a little past that (I'm 63). This means the majority of us have our kids raised, their education paid for, our personal finances in order, and are in or near our peak earning years. So we can afford a few extra bucks now and then for new gear. However, we weren't always in that situation, and we satisfied ourselves for many years with what are now considered vintage rigs. To those who find themselves forced to have second thoughts about owning the "latest and greatest," . . . rest easy in your soul. Your day will come. The bulk of your time and money right now belong to the kids you brought into this world. Ham radio can wait. Thus endeth the sermon for today, with apologies. 73, Kent K9ZTV _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Ok I have scratched my head enough.
I have been busy with my new K3 #1339 and all is going great till I try the Zero-Beat. I am using the XG-2 and it gives a nice signal at 7.040 + - . I am having trouble finding the REF Cal in the config menu. I have scrolled these over and over and can't seem to find it. Am I not in the right place. Help?????

Have you set CONFIG: TECH MD to ON? REF CAL won't be available otherwise.

Gary,
You should be very proud that you placed your family first. I have known many hams who sacrificed family to buy their ham radio toys. The K2 is a wonderful radio whether it is the QRP or QRO version. I was given one to play with for the summer which impressed me so much I sold my Icom gear. The good thing is Elecraft is going to be around for a long time so you can order one when times get better. 73, VE7HJ James

Gary and All,
Very innovative idea Gary. However, the bad news is that such an offer would be made to more than the "de minimis" number of buyers, you'd be offering across state lines, etc., and therefore require registration with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)! Guess what that involves!!!! You would have to file an S1, etc, and all your savings go out the window. Worst of all, you have to get the lawyers involved! Sometimes you just can't win!
