[Elecraft] W9OY on P3

[Hector Padron]

Let's be reasonable though - the Flex is not a piece of junk just because
it's in second place on the Sherwood list. 

There's a whole lot of good radios behind the two of them further down the
list.

I think this W9OY, because of his obvious pro-Flex bias, should be given the
same respect as W2OY was in the "olde days". (He was the "CQ CQ, no kids, no
lids, no space cadets" guy).

Yes you are absolutely right,the Flex-5000 is an oustanding radio and If I want to buy a backup radio it might be that but the point is that he TRASHED OUT the K3 at all with his comment and that is not fare in my opinion although I will respect his.He simply does not know  what he is saying at all.

"Elecraft had their little answer to the pan adapter, what a joke. It was a
little screen maybe 9" and made the radio look like a toy. The quality of
the display was horrible"
 
What can you expect from a Flex radio user,they all will attack our
K3's,they  all will critize our radios,they feel those Flex radios are the
best in the world and nothing will be better for them,its a human nature to
defend what we have but I would ask them, why Sherwood lab has the K3 on top
of the list and then the "Flex 5000 takes second place? I will ask them to
answer that simple question.

Hi Julian


Looks like a jealous Flexradio fan.

So many Flexradio users have PC problems and hangups. I would not go near
this  concept. At least if you plug the P3 in it wont hangup. You certainly 
wont have to spend  months seeking out a good motherboard  that wont cause
hangups or stutter.

I dont see Agilent bringing  out test instruments with a PC for the main
interface. They dont do this for for very good and valid reasons.  Ham
radios are exactly the same in nature, they need a front panel with knobs
and buttons.

I dont mind using my Perseus for casual monitoring  and testing tasks,
however when tuning the bands for a long period of time I just shut the
thing off and use a real VFO knob. Its the most efficient device ever
invented for tuning, its the equivalent of the wheel for  ham radio! We all
know there's little point in reinventing the wheel! 

Hail the VFO Knob!

John
