Let me build your K2

Alan-112
I have built over 100 K2's to date, and all of the other Elecraft kits as well.
Let me build your radio. My rates are reasonable and you get a built
radio ready to play.

Ya know? If we would simply read his message and not comment on it
there wouldn't be enough traffic to cause a problem.

Personally, I don't see a problem with the message, but neither of us
are empowered to police this list.

Sure we are. Its called mail filtering, and most mail programs nowadays
support it.

You are (of course) correct. I won't filter his message -- but clearly
there is someone else on the list who should!

Thanks,

Hey Alan:
Just ignore the negative comments  on the reflector.  If you enjoy building
the Elecraft gear then good for  you.  It gives you something to do plus
provides you will a few extra  bucks.  Besides your providing a valuable service for
some of the hams. Not  everyone has time to build the kits.

RE: Let me build your K2

Hisashi T Fujinaka
My problem is that I had him filtered and don't see any postings from
him at all any longer, but when people reply to his messages without his
address in the header, I see it again.

I just get tired of the repeated messages, whether it's Eric (not the
Elecraft Eric) talking about how CW is useless for traffic passing or
the other guy offering to build things every single week. Rather than
complaining (which I'm doing now, sorry) I just have my mail program
delete every message from them.

In reply to this post by Phil LaMarche
Personally I think its kinda neat keeping track of how many K2's Alan has
built. I have no problem with him asking to build them. I had someone else
finish mine for me or else I would have asked Alan. For some folks a project
like a K2 is quite a chore to build. So keep it up Alan ! ! !  There is
always the DELETE key which some people don't seem to know how to use. I'll
go back under my rock now.

Guys - Let's end this thread. We're taking care of this off line.

I am adding an addendum to the list guidelines that asks for commercial postings
(including those for builders for hire) to be limited to one per month each to
keep the signal to noise level reasonable on the list.

In general we are strong supporters of our builders for hire. Those like Allan,
W1HYV, who have built a large number of K2's and other kits for customers are
providing a great service to the Elecraft community.

RE: Let me build your K2

SHEAJOHNW
In reply to this post by Alan-112
I appreciate Alan's occasional reminder of his available Elecraft building services.  Alan recently upgraded my auction acquired K2 #2318 with SSB and IO2 to a revision B K2/100 adding the NB, DSP, PA100, 60M, and 160M modules.  
 
The upgrade job was complicated by the fact that the rig had been previously involved in a house fire and rescued by me from the charred debris through repeatedly cleaning the boards with alcohol and distilled water.  I also had to replace the front panel, melted knobs, melted bezel, and melted buttons and scrub the soot blackened exterior.  For about a year, I could smell a faint smoke odor every time I used the rig.
 
A year and a half after my restoration to operable condition, the K2 stopped responding to computer control. I had seen Alan's e-mails and decided it was time to ask Alan for repair help and for the upgrades that I had been wanting for some time.
 
Alan began to work almost immediately and kept me advised of his progress by e-mail as he repaired defects and built the upgrades.  Working on the fire affected boards was difficult because each new solder point required recleaning.  He finished the project promptly and charged very reasonable fees for his labor.  
 
My commercial surface mount technology rigs did not survive the fire, only the K2 because of its modular easy to work on design.  I am greatful for Alan's services that again enable me to use my K2 fire survivor.  The K2 worked FB QRO during last weekends CQ DX RTTY contest.
 
Thanks Alan

In reply to this post by Cfzepp
Indeed, I was fortunately able to have the time to build my K2, but since
receiving the KPA100 in early July, I got very busy at work & have not yet
completed it. It doesn't look as though it will be ready for the Worked All
Germany contest in mid-October, which was my goal. As far as I can see, Alan
is providing a really useful service to people who either are unsure of
their constructional abilities or don't have enough spare time. The fact
that he's built 100+ is a testament to what a nice kit it is to build.

  Filter 'Let me build' in the subject;
that will filter out replies too.

I totally agree with Jerry, here. Besides, Alan does good work. He  
built mine, after all, and it's a fantastic rig. No way I could've  
done it (at least, not without a *lot* of hand-holding.....and it'd  
taken forever, likely as not I'd still be working on it). Good for  
Alan for letting people know about his services in case they don't  
already know about them. Course, I wonder if he hasn't thought about  
posting his services, say, on eB*y?

Gee man,

only a few caused the problem; they have a delete key;

why are you making rules to favor the few??

Who knows how many complaints Eric received.

Kinda reminds me of the folks that clamor to have pets taken into shelters in a
devastating emergency.

Oh, I'm sure those folks that have been vindicated in stopping Alan will each
make a post on a monthly basis offering to build/modify at no charge for the
elderly and handicapped.

Na...there are always folks anxious to attend the Whine and Cheese Parties.
