Separate Elecraft K3 and K4 Reflectors on Groups.IO

[Elecraft mailing list]

To all,

This thread could go on forever.  Some want a separate group, some do not.

The fact is it is up to the individual as to whether they want to
participate in a separate group, the main group (this one) or both.

The good part is that when Wayne and/or Eric have a special announcement,
they do make an effort to post on the Groups.IO reflectors.  I believe they
monitor the separate groups ([hidden email] and [hidden email]
, but I do not have confirmation on that.

The bad part is if you just participate in the separate group, you may miss
something.  If you participate in the main group, there are voluminous
e-mails that do not deal with your radio that you have to go through and
delete.

I have moderated the Elecraft-K3 list for over 10 years, and just signed on
to moderate the Elecraft-K4 list.  They do serve a purpose, and all are
welcome to join.

The lists are there, and should you wish to participate, you are certainly
welcome to do so.  The traffic on those lists will not be as voluminous as
this reflector, so joining both shouldn't max out your e-mail box.

>> I support having a separate K4 group.

I don't. I filter each Elecraft gear item in separate subfolders under a
main folder called Elecraft.

The real problem with this is the shear lack of users of this list to
mention the type of Elecraft gear they want to talk about.

Many users of the K3 for example, probably the most used  gear, think:
"If I ask something about a setting of something everyone should know
I'm talking about my K3", so they end up in the main folder and I have a
hard time to get rid of these messages...

Messages from users of the digest that do not change the subject line:
Those messages are filtered straight to the trash... When I close
Tunderbird the trash is emptied automaically.

If only we could stick to the RULE that one starts an item with the type
of gear I would be very happy because the filter can take good care of this.

Please use the reflector and do not divert to yahoo/google/groups.io
etc. Share information at one place, do not split it up.

73,
Peter - PA0PJE
