[Elecraft] Interesting Conversation about FT-5000 vs K3

[Bert Craig]

Soundly seconded! I also like the fact that my dollars went to folks who 
live, work and spend their earnings right here in the USA. I felt that way 
before the economic crisis when I purchased my K1 & K2 and feel it is 
especially critical now that we do all we can to support our own 
infrastructure.

Just drive around town... ANY town and witness all the "mom & pop" stores 
that closed down because we wanted to take advantage of those bargains from 
that huge mega-chain (Pick any one.) with all the cheaply imported goods and 
their IT and/or telephone customer service departments outsourced offshore. 
Additionally, check out how they treat their labor. I'd rather spend a few 
bucks more, thanks.

Wayne and Eric,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm diggin' signals out of the noise floor 
that I never even heard before at a reasonable cost AND my hard earned dough 
(or a portion thereof, at least) is making it to a dinner table right here 
in the USA; NOT  Tokyo or Osaka.

As always, take care es...
