[Elecraft] FS list - cleaning shack

[K9ZTV]

Huh?

I ran CW mobile for several years with a 100D because I deemed it well thought out for a mobile situation and simple to operate while driving.  Plowed through a heavy crowd on two bands one afternoon to work Ducie while tooling along at 70 mph.  I could change bands and tune the ATAS by feel with scarcely a glance at the control head.  Liked it better than the 857D I run now.  But obviously not a contester's rig.

Someday, maybe, if they bring out a detachable head, something-Elecraft will adorn my center console. 

73,

Kent, K9ZTV

Yes, it's CHEAP, but IMO, new hams need a rig that is very simple, straightforward, and easy to operate. That does NOT describe an FT100, D version or otherwise. I owned one for a while, and I found it very frustrating to use. EVERYTHING is in a menu, there are bunches of menus, and so on.
