Congratulations Elecraft on the new rig. If the close in RX numbers are
as good as I've been surmising, equal to or better than the TT Orion II,
you will have a hot seller.
IMHO "Forums" like Simon's and others are they way to go.
If you have a K2 support question you post it in the K2 section of the
forums, ditto KX1, K1, K3, KPA800, etc.... The computer enthusiast
community, both hardware and software, have been using forums instead of
mail lists for years.
