[Elecraft] [QRP-L] The Chinese KX3

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??

Elecraft's gear is fabulously reliable.  It's a safe (but unscientifically generated statistic) bet that 70-80% of the issues/problems reported on this forum are user error or lack of knowledge/understanding about the rig.  Of the remaining 20%, a large majority of the issues that are actual issues get corrected rapidly in firmware.  The remaining are handled as quickly as the folks in Aptos, and elsewhere, can handle them.

Remember, none of the percentages provided above are in any way statistically/scientifically generated.  They are my observations from roughly one year on this, and other, reflector.  And, yes, I drank the Kool-Aid willingly and whole-heartedly.  ;-)
