Wayne,
Please come out with something new for the guys on this Reflector to build........A guy posts a subject matter relating to reading the color code (Colour actually !) and it ends up being replied to with everything from Churchill's supposed sayings to birth control......

I think Wayne should be pushin the KX1 sales up with this LED flashlight
(torch) suggestion - the KX1 contains an LED light that can be used to detect the color codes! 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Wayne, > Please come out with something new for the guys on this > Reflector to build........A guy posts a subject matter relating > to reading > the color code (Colour actually !) and it ends up being replied to with > everything from Churchill's supposed sayings to birth control...... > Too many guys with cold soldering irons.......think of the money you are > losing not having them busy? > Regards .....Ron ZL1TW > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

OK, Ron, I'll work on it. Meanwhile, I don't know of anyone completely disassembling a fully-built Elecraft radio and putting it back together. In theory this means twice the fun you had building it the first time ;) 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

That's my guess as well.
I went to Dayton last year, planning on picking up a Ten Tec 6N2 xcvr. Not one in the house. Quizzed the sales fellow at the Ten Tec booth, he gave me some story about non-leaded components (parts with no lead in them) being in short supply. It seems Ten Tec tries to use low or no lead parts to accommodate product laws in Europe. Yeah, okay, whatever. Not a word was said about them discontinuing the radio. A few months later, a phone call to Sevierville confirmed the 6N2 was no more. I'm sure sales slipped because of all those DC-to-daylight rigs on the market. Why buy a 6N2 at $649, when an FT-817 could be had on the street for $50-$100 less? 73, Russ WB8ZCC Scott Richardson wrote: >> Perhaps a low powered 6m/2m CW/SSB with FM option rig would be a >> reasonable project?

Elecraft XV50, XV144, XV222 or XV432...
All you have to do is order the one of your choice. The K2 is all equipped to drive one CW/SSB at least. FM is almost all repeater stuff on vertical antennas, anyway, while CW / SSB is horizontally polarized most places.
