I don't recall casting anything as a failure by Elecraft. I was merely
pointing out an upside to ordering later that many might not be aware of.

As to whether Elecraft does a better job of meeting user needs than anyone
else, perhaps those who are still awaiting the implementation of features
that have been on hold since the 2nd RX problems occurred (not to mention
those awaiting the 2nd RX itself) might disagree with you.

Nobody is suggesting they aren't doing the best they can (or at least I'm
not) but only someone who has been on Mars for the last six months could
agree that they are meeting everyone's expectations.
