Giving the high quality of Elecraft products, and the phenomenal customer
service, not to mention the made in the USA stamp, I think an Elecraft
2m/440 HT would be a huge success. I know I would be one of those people
camping out in front of the store for a week just be first in line to buy
one. Hopefully the Elecraft gods are listening.

Re: 2M & 440, was: Elecraft Digest, Vol 112, Issue 30

In reply to this post by Reginald J Mackey SR-3

I must disagree. These bands are the major bands for ARES/RACES
emergency services. When I talk with South San Francisco Bay
Area ARES/RACES leaders, they have no interest in HF or any
other kind of long distance communication. Their interest is in
connecting Red Cross shelters, hospitals, 911 centers and
neighborhood emergency centers for emergency coordination.
2M/440 are the bread and butter bands for this kind of communications.

While I personally think that long distance communication has an
important place in emergency preparedness, I don't seem to get
much headway when speaking to ARES/RACES leaders in my community.

I also use 2M quite a lot for communication with ham friends
while rag chewing on local repeaters, car-to-car communication
when caravaning, and wilderness trail communication.

I always try to remember that ham radio is a huge tent and there
are many, many places to have fun.

I think, darn I hate that, that the correct answer is a dual band module for the KX3. It is already the size of a HT, come on. I would give up the higher power for a good 1-2 watt 2/440 transverter and IT would be GREAT.

Re: Elecraft Digest, Vol 112, Issue 30

I'd say the knobs will get in the way when trying to hang it on your
belt. It would need some kind of box to protect knobs/buttons and the
display.

Oh is it waterproof or does it float?
