KX2 color option: Army green (olive)?
 
Administrator
|
One of our customers who has outfitted units with KX2s is hoping we'll provide an Army-green case color option (olive drab). Note: We're not talking about camo -- just a solid color :)
To make such an option viable we'd need to know if there's enough demand, both military and otherwise. Please drop me an email if you might be interested, or have an opinion on this possibility. Thanks, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

My Elecraft equipment is already olive drab — I favor black olives.

Several of us SOTA operators have asked for a high visibility color
option (orange or green-yellow). I think I would choose the current charcoal over olive drab.

Being colorblind, I really don't care that much, however something that
would stand out from "earthy" colors would be nice ... probably not so much for Special Forces, but it's very easy to leave something at your SOTA site 'cause you didn't see it while packing. If you do make one in Army Green, will you also get an AN/XXX-nnn designator assigned? 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 3/16/2020 10:19 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > One of our customers who has outfitted units with KX2s is hoping we'll provide an Army-green case color option (olive drab).

Yellow reminds me of the CD version of the Gonset Communicator - ugly!

Military is looking for things that don't stand out. In Vietnam we could not wear white t-shirts because it was too good of a target. 72/73, Robin W4IEN EM73vx G-QRP #12386 SKCC #7294 [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
