I would like to just share with the group a couple of experiences I had with
2 of the outside manufacturers on Elecraft's Other Mfg. Products page.
First let me say I had never met these people before and therefore am giving
an objective opinion.
I ordered a dust cover for my K3 from Rose Kopp, N7KHW. After several emails
back and forth, Rose created the exact cover I was looking for. She
embroidered the cover the way I wanted it and in the color I wanted. She
sent me a picture of the embroidery to show me how it looked and asked if
it was ok. At that point, I think if I would have said no and told her
something else she would have scraped that and made another with no extra
charge. She completed the work and had it to me within a week. I was very
impressed and am very proud to cover my K3 with her product.
I also ordered an engraved LCD cover plate from Ken, WB2ART. As with Rose,
Ken and I exchanged a few e-mails back and forth. I asked him to match the
color of the HOLD printing on the face of my K3 and he matched it very well.
I ordered 2 and he also had them finished and to me within a week.
I am sure some of you are thinking "So What!" Well, this is the first NEW
rig I have ever owned in my 40+ years of ham radio. I was finally able to
afford a good rig and the K3 was my only choice. I have used several
different high end radios at the contest station of Tom, K8AZ. For the money
I was very impressed with the K3. So being it is my first new rig I want to
show it off the best way I can. hi hi
