[Elecraft] Feature request

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Jim,

I don't worry about the negative comments.  Just because a couple people
don't like something does not mean that many others do. 

I have noticed that this list can be a bit on the harsh side especially with
new user type questions. 

Ideas and or thoughts are tossed out the Elecraft.  If they choose to make
changes great, if not great.

The goal is make the radio even better not just for one but for all.

Still learning and enjoying.

Mike W0MU

>Mike,

While you're right in your assumptioms that all of these other mis-steps can
be rectified via software revisions, you can, as I have experienced earlier,
that those questions are out here sometimes are MET with ridicule as I've
experienced!

PS,

When that happens obviously the "NEGATIVE COMMENTS" should be thrown in the
"GARBAGE!!!"
