[Elecraft] New Contest Transceiver

[Gary D Krause]

I agree with you also, Julian.  I've always thought keeping it simple is the 
key to many things.  I still have a couple of older rigs that I love to 
operate along with my K2.  They don't have the bells and whistles that the 
modern rigs have.  I've noticed that along with the computer age, the new rigs 
seem to have their own set of problems.  You can't tell if a person is using a 
high priced rig or a simple homebrew rig when it comes to CW.  SSB may be 
another story but, for the most part the focus is primarily on the receiver. 
 Even then, the most important part of the station is still the antenna, in my 
opinion.
