[Elecraft] RES: TS-990

[Bill K9YEQ]

Eric,  

If one has the money, why not own them all?  Then we can get user feedback.
No lab stats.  I own other equipment besides Elecraft as does Wayne and
perhaps Eric, too.  YaeComWood gave us the need for other manufactures.
They have missed the mark for user needs.  They fail miserably in the US for
usability and testing.  This is one of the major reasons Elecraft is so
successful, not to mention the super team of designers, real users
themselves. 

73,
Bill

My old TS-930S was 40 lbs and dominated the top of an executive desk. I
recently weighed my K2/10 and K2/100, both heavily accessorized. 
Together, they are a few ounces short of 10 lbs. Never again.

was to replace my trusty TS-180SAT.  When it arrived I thought they'd
accidently sent me TWO 950's in the same box.  I had not paid any attention
to the size and weight specs of the rig when I ordered it.  It was so huge,
there was no room for anything on the front of the operating desk once the
950 was in place.  I boxed it up and sent it back.  I was stronger then but
knew that I would (hopefully) be growing old and would need help moving that
beast.
