[Elecraft] New Elecraft Message Board? [End of Thread]

[Don Rasmussen]

Welcome back Eric, and thanks for ending that thread.
There was plenty of time to waste this weekend with
the bands the way they were (dead) but I thought I'd
update you on what the scoundrels in the other camp
were up to while you were away. 

You know that computer, I mean transceiver that's all
computer? The newest model is hidden on a big box so
you cannot see the Windows but I hear tale that XP
and lots of other Bill Gates evil is inside when you
buy it. 

You don't need to be too smart to set this one up,
just need to be able to find the USB post on your
existing computer I hear.

Well they had the mystery antenna guy (W5GI?) on the
air with Serial Number #00001 this weekend and he was
taking calls. He said he wanted to take some QRP
signals first so I had the Argo V ready to go but the
calls he took were oddly all SDR1000's doing 1.5kw. 

What a coincidence? 

It was just like coming home for those guys and I
could "feel the love". 

Anyway, the SDR crowd got a bone this weekend and they
gave that radio a test which is good because they are
supposed to ship in a month. 

Too much money and too much computer for myself, but
hey it's something new on the bands. 

Now pse get bk to work, hope you had a nice weekend!

Guys - I apologize for not stepping in earlier. I was
out of town this weekend. ( It seems every time I'm
out a new thread explodes.. ;-)

We are not splitting the list. It would be impossible
for us to participate in multiple lists, and to be
honest, it would just make it confusing for someone
new to Elecraft.

In addition, this list serves as valuable marketing
and technical feedback for us, and a single point
method for communicating with a large number of
Elecraft customers.
