How about a K-RCV?
Locked

Hello Elecrafters!
This seems to be a repeating theme for me. How about Wayne and Eric design a full coverage (.5-30 Mhz) receiver based upon the designs of the K2 and KX1. I know I'd want one (at least one). What's even more interesting is that a bunch of techies I work with (many of who are not hams) would want one, too. The wider filter of the KX1 and its enhanced receive coverage have impressed a bunch of folks. The exceptional control of the K2 is equally impressive. And you get to build it yourself! I don't know if I'm talking about one or two rigs here. Maybe a small portable and a real base receiver are the answer. I routinely scan catalogs and the web for SWL receivers and I'm almost always disappointed by the lack of features or the high price. Heck, a used (but restored) R 390A often sells for just under $2K! Surely, Elecraft can do better than that and there won't be lubrication and transmission issues to deal with. That's my pitch and my plea. What do you folks think? 73, Lonnie NY2LJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I'd buy an Elecraft general coverage RX in a snap!

I would snap one up too!
And just to throw oil on this fire; what do you all think of an Elecraft hand-held 6m, 220, 2m kit? What do you say Erik, Wayne? :-) Sylvain VE2SQX ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lonnie Juli" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: [Elecraft] How about a K-RCV? > Hello Elecrafters! > > > > This seems to be a repeating theme for me. > > > > How about Wayne and Eric design a full coverage (.5-30 Mhz) receiver based > upon the designs of the K2 and KX1.

You are right.....it is a repeating theme.....it comes up every few months. I brought it up myself once. So far as I remember( I could have missed some) , never any comments/response one way or the other from Wayne and Eric My hope is they are listening and working on it and will eventually spring it on us as a debugged, ready to market kit.I think a bunch od us Elecraftes will keep asking....and I will buy if ( no...lets think positive, make that when ) it happens.
