[Elecraft] W3FPR

[John Wingard]

I may be the only one that has done this, but over the past dozen years or so that I've been on this list, I have printed out many of Don's troubleshooting suggestions and solutions, punched them and put them in a 3-ring binder. I have two binders right now that are full, and have started on a third. They are almost like having a service manual when and if I ever need them. Don is definitely a treasure!

Another kudos report...

I have always been impressed by Don's comments and his wealth of knowledge and his absolute encyclopedia knowledge of not only the innards and design of the K2 but knowledge of most problems that happen to the K2 and their solutions.  Now, I don't
have a K2 but every now and then I think of buying the K2 kit knowing that there is safety in having Don around to answer
questions that likely would arise.
