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

[Carl Clawson]

It was love it first sight.

Kevin, KD5ONS, dragged me over to the Elecraft booth at the 2007 Sea Pac
convention after I mentioned that I was looking for a new HF rig and was
considering a K2, among other choices. This was shortly after the K3 had
been announced and I hadn't heard of it yet.

Oh, I read the specs, knew about the K2's fantastic performance, etc., etc.,
and all the other reasons you've heard. But really, I was hooked the moment
I saw it. I ordered mine a few weeks later and waited eight ... long ...
months ... for it to arrive.

During the wait, I auctioned off 20 years worth of unused gear in the shack
and raised enough to pay for it!

Thanks, Kevin!

P3 # uh, don't have one yet but I'm weakening...
