[Elecraft] [QRP-L] The Chinese KX3

[James Rodenkirch]

We have NO idea how the "service" is out of this new seller, forgetting it's a Chinese firm, and we HAVE NO idea of how reliable either product is so I have NO idea what that "thinking" is all about!
 
If Elecraft service is so damn good, tell me how reliable their product is?  Or are you talking about marketing/sales service vice product supportability service??
 
Sheesh -
