Elecraft's market
Locked
 
|
I understand that CW ops are not the largest part of the market, but there are still a very significant number of us, especially world wide. Just tune across the bands on a major CW contest weekend. As long as Elecraft continues to make CW as important as SSB and digital modes in their design philosophy, in contrast to other manufacturers who are still using mechanical relays for T/R switching for example, they will continue to own the lion's share of that segment.
Thanks Wayne, Eric, and all for the great QRQ/QSK equipment. Merry Christmas!

Of all the radios I’ve purchased over the years, CW performance is a key element in the decision. I’m not a DX chaser, I’m not a contest operator, nor a high speed operator. There is nothing like sending and receiving good quality CW. Granted my fist needs improvement but what skill I have I do not want it deteriorated by a poor quality radio in this regard.
Elecraft and one other US brand always has measured up to my requirements for performance radios. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 23, 2019, at 4:35 AM, Steven G.

I also have had many radio's.. I was locked into Yaesu starting with the FT-102 and had all their models after that one until the K3 came out..I sold the first K3 and went back to a FT-9000..it just did not do the job on CW as the first K3 I had so I bought a used bare bones K3 and filled it up with all the CW options that I needed and will never have anything else. This is one of the best options..you can buy a 10 year old radio and bring it up to date yourself.. It may not be the best looking rig but it is by far the best CW rig I have ever used for me! With the P3 and two speakers it will be my last rig..
I hope everyone has a Merry Xmas and a safe New Year... 73s Bob W5RG ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Bob McGraw K4TAX <[hidden email]>To: Steven G.
