[Elecraft] K3/K2: cumulative HF xcvr review from eHam

[Fred C. Jensen]

From your perspective Wayne, i'd read them all too.  From my perspective as just a ham, I've pretty much given up on eHam reviews.  Like me trying to learn how to pilot a helicopter, they are all over the sky.  Plus, I don't know who they are, what they expected, whether or not that was realistic, or whether the actually knew what they were doing.

Merry Christmas to all

PS: Never did learn to pilot the helicopter effectively
