[Elecraft] Price Comparison and Comment

[Stan Rife]

Well then, I have finally got to know the skinny on this ceiling filter (er roofing) issue and I am totally confused (still). I thought I had a handle on it (order them all), but now someone says that we DON'T need them all. How do you know which ones you do need? And I have seen someone say that one (or all) of them will be tuneable. Can some (again please) lay this out in laymens terms for the ignorant, non savy (ME) of us.

  Bill,

You are right. After thinking on this for more than 10 minutes....I came to the same conclusion. A K3 can be had for 1800 dollars in modular kit form...with just 100 watts and no bells and whistles. The 2.7 roofing filter comes with the unit, so you would have a workable unit after building it.

So, the price comparison I put out last weekend was...well...wrong! Wrong on so many levels.

I did not understand roofing filters at time and considered them IF Filters. I was informed by very nice people that not all five filters would be needed. So, that was a bogus assumption on my part.

Also, I looked at the price from a full blown perspective. What I like about Elecraft is that you can put in the pieces when you can afford them. Not like other companies who do not offer that kind of flexibility.

So...sorry about the poor email
