[Elecraft] TS-990

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I'm an IT (computer) and have been one for nearly 30 years.


There was a time I was hot on the whole FlexRadio game, but after a year of running one the novelty wore off.
By The Way, in that year of running one I longed for conventional filters (roofing filters)

The difference, of course, is that a computer is not REQUIRED to use a 
K3. The Flex will not function at all without the computer, so the 
comments about the Flex being dependent on computer hardware are hardly 
"nonsense."
