[Elecraft] KX3 intro at San Diego Six Shooters

[Keith Heimbold]

I had the opportunity to do a small introduction of my recently arrived KX3 at the San Diego Six Shooters meeting in Santee, CA last week. 

It was a nice time and many questions were asked and answered. Fortunately for me there was an old time Elecraft expert in the crowd who was a K3 owner that could answer questions about the rig and Elecraft that I could not (seemed to be a personal acquaintance of Wayne's).

The biggest uproar in the presentation was when I told the group of the new Sherwood rankings and how much this new rig costs in comparison to the FTDX5000 and other high end rigs. I made sure to mention that the rigs serve different purposes obviosuly ie mine is destined to be my mobile, but even still I am sure that an order or two will come out of that group of fifty or so attendees. There was certainly a look of shared shock and dismay among some and nods and smiles among many.

The interesting part for me was how I felt when presenting the rig. I was very proud to stand there and represent being an owner of several Elecraft products. I have done a lot of sales and marketing for my own business nationally and internationally have done it for large G2000 companies and have not always felt so stoked about what i was representing. However, I felt great talking abou my K3s and KX3 in particular. Maybe it Is the hobby influence but it is special talking about superior products with a tremendous value proposition like the K3 and KX3. 

Wayne and Eric and crew really do have something very special. BZ Gents and Ladies from Elecraft.
