Hi y'all,

I gotta agree with the pro-Elecraft sentiment here. I recently wrote
to them regarding the Argonaut V and asked about accessibility
features to make it easier/possible to use for blind hams. Big ol' fat
zilch from sales...basically...no, it isn't, and we really don't plan
on doing anything about it. Later, I wrote to another fellow who made
positive noises and seemed willing enough to be helpful, but again,
nothing. On the other hand, it seems as if Elecraft has made efforts
not only to be user friendly to as many users as possible but is also
coming out with useful upgrades and additions (say, the computer
control software and--better--the KRC2...I'm one of those funny people
who doesn't want to be leashed to a computer.) So...even if I can't
build one of these myself (at least, probably not...LOL), kudos to
Elecraft for doing what they do. Definitely looking forward to playing
with the K2 here real soon :) 

Vy 73,
