If I had discovered a serious fault (or even a minor one) with a product 
or firmware that might have used by someone to give Elecraft a black 
eye, I would have done so directly with Wayne, and I have done that more 
than a few times in the past. But this one is about educating one and 
all about concepts that are widely misunderstood by hams, including, 
sadly, many who write manuals. W3FPR, K6DGW, N1AL are among those who 
clearly understood, and posted clear examples of exactly the 
misconceptions I was describing.

Within an hour of my post, Wayne responded in a very positive manner, 
asked if I would like to mark up a copy of the text in question, I 
agreed. I sent the marked up text back to him about 90 minutes ago.

Try having an exchange like that with ANY other manufacturer! How many 
years (and new models) did it take Yaesu to fix their massive key click 
problem with the FT1000-series?
