[Elecraft] The Chinese KX3

[David Gilbert]

My point is that those specs could describe almost anything, including 
low end homebrew backpacking rigs.  How anyone jumped to the conclusion, 
based upon available information, that it was equivalent to a KX3 or any 
other rig is beyond me.  I chalk that up to the tendency some people 
have to be more likely to believe in the outrageous than the mundane.  
Want to generate an email that gets forwarded to thousands?   Exaggerate 
the message as extravagantly as you can.
