[Elecraft] Re： RadCom, Chinese K1?

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Group,

Again, I only spell out the fact and tell what I see in the China market next to my door.

If you feel it is theft, then it is theft.  I would like to keep myself away from the discussion of intellectual rights in this reflector.  Whether it is necessary to take any legal action against the copy cat, the entire matter will be in the capable hands of Elecraft.

To reiterate, I have seen products in China similar (not identical) to K1 or KX1 at 1/3 to 1/4 of price in US.

There is no need for a debate about intellectual rights. Stealing is 
stealing, and its wrong. Period. A company called Behringer is well 
known as a thief of other companies designs (even down to mistakes 
on the printed circuit board!). They have been convicted in court of 
doing so, and have settled out of court in at least one other case. 
The pro audio world avoids them like the plague. If this Chinese K1 
is simply another ham's design of a QRP rig, that's fine. If it's a 
copy of another company's radio, it's theft, plain and simple.
