[Elecraft] What's Wrong With Our Radios (WAS:NewProducts, Building

[Mike Davies G0KAD]

As I'm new to the Elecraft discussion list, I run the danger of 
repeating that which has gone before.  However from reading the 
suggestions for new products, I could not help feeling there is a 
yawning gap.

As the happy owner of an XV144 transverter, I have long been considering 
the K2 as my next purchase.

Reading RADCOM recently, I was introduced to the Softrock SDR receiver 
kits being sold by Tony Parks (KB9YIG) for the incredible price of $15 
including postage to the UK (well done Tony).  I am now convinced that 
the SDR is the future of radio and am torn between buying the SDR1000 by 
Flex Radio and truly having a BLACK BOX or going the K2 route.  
Naturally an Elecraft SDR would solve my dilemma.   A  modular system 
allowing the builder to start simple and build to a fully featured HF 
radio would be fabulous.

If you haven't got one already buy a Softrock receiver you'll love it.
