[Elecraft] K3 plastic knurled knobs

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

It turns out that mine is now 11 years old, and still sorta useful,
but their web catalog is OUTSTANDING.  If you've got wireless and a
laptop, you can even browse on the toilet, and given the size of the
paper one, many laptops are lighter.

   Hi Don,

	       You are right getting a paper catalog was like pulling 
   teeth.  They are tough to get a catalog from.  But in their defense they 
   surely are not cheap.  A 10 year old catalog is almost as good as a new 
   one.  An old catalog number is always good, if the product changes they 
   will tell you the new best replacement. and any differences. Before I 
   retired and had tried to get a catalog  by phone they would tell me who 
   had one I could possibly use.  I did get a hand me down copy. 

	       As a reference book they are worth their weight in gold. The 
   information in them  and how to select the correct item is priceless. 

		Service is better than great.  I'm in NJ and can call at 6P 
   and the order will be at my door the next day for standard UPS rates, 
   not overnight or extra charges for their prompt service.   I don't ever 
   recall an "out of stock "  order.

		An amazing outfit.

   73,
