It has arrived!!! I placed my order in the beginning of February and it came Thursday, September 25. I even got a picture of the UPS guy carrying over the box. The reason why it took so long was I had to wait for the sub receiver which was on back order and I wanted them to install it. Every time I put something together, I always lose screws, spill drinks, step on parts running to get the door, ect. ect. Strange, I didn't have to sign for it. If I wasn't home, I guess it would be in plane view in front of the door. I could not believe I was up 24 hours having fun learning the functions of the new radio. I still have a long way to go. I was even more surprised how easy it was downloading the software into the radio and opening it up for MARS. Very easy! I got on the MARS Nets right away. I had a couple questions and Elecraft was very helpful. Thanks Scott and Dale for the patience with someone from "old school."! I bet they had a good laugh but they walked me through the computer software and helped me understand the settings which were shot into the radio. I also can't believe how it really cuts down the line noise around the neighborhood. I don't want to bother Dale or Scott too much so I guess I will be posting on here if I don't understand something. The hand mic I received seems to give better audio than the three "studio mics" I have laying around and it seems sharper but I really do need a good desk mic that sounds good. (I am afraid that I'll drop the hand mic in my super big gulp cup.) If anyone has good EQ settings, please respond with those values. Well, that's all for now. Happy DXing.
