[Elecraft] W9OY comments about K3

[Bob - W0GI]

<<< Have you seen the P3 in person? >>>

I don't have to see it in person, to make the comments I made. It is obvious
from the pictures and video, as to what the P3 screen looks like. It is also
obvious, that a 22" monitor is going to look better.

My knickers aren't in a twist, I am just pointing out that calling the P3 a
joke, because it doesn't look like the 40" monitor at the Flex booth is not
an opinion, but meaningless dribble.

My reference to the 60" Sony compared to a netbook is an example of more
meaningless dribble, as we all know the 60" Sony is going to look better the
the netbook screen. Does that make the netbook screen a joke? I watch movies
on my IPOD Touch, and it has a really small screen. Is it a joke? In reality
the comments on the blog are the joke. That wasn't a review, just a quick
jab at the P3.

As for current comsumption, it is also obvious that the P3 will have less
then a PC, 22" monitor, LP-Pan, and soundcard. It will also have fewer
cables.

As for the reference to Begali keys, it relates to some that say the P3 is
overpriced compared to a softrock unit into soundcard. Yes, there are
cheaper keys, and cheaper ways to have a panadapter. But, some of us will
pay more for what we want.

Buy the way, I don't have to have your permission or play by your rules, to
have an opinion, and whether or not portability was on your list for the K2
or K3, it is pretty obvious that portablility and low current consumption
was a big part of the designs.  :>)

I really don't want an argument over this, but W9OY took a cheap shot, and I
and others responded.

Simple.
