[Elecraft] What made you decide on purchasing an Elecraft transceiver?

[Rick Stealey]

Two reasons:
1).  Disgusted with rigs that were made for 15 years or so with terrible key clicks that the manufacturer ignored.  
When you try to get an answer in a place like Dayton you can get a cap, a smile, a catalog and a bow but not 
an answer.  And their big time competitor builds rigs where the display goes bad (756) and they shrug their 
shoulders when you ask "What do I do now?" and they hand you a catalog.
2).  Then you go to Elecrafts booth and you not only meet the owners, the designers, the software engineer, 
the staff support, and they know precisely what they are talking about.  They are responsive, calm, 
cool-as-can-be, and they are NICE!!!!  And they take TIME to be sure you are satisfied.  And they are genuine, 
and honest.  And they do what they say they will do.  And they speak English, eloquently too I might add.
Any questions?

Oh I should mention - and the K3 digs right down into the canyons next to those big clicky signals with 
the phase noise all around them and pulls out signals.
