[Elecraft] Elecraft Support

[Jim Rogers]

And I agree with you and Kevin Ron.  Sometimes with growth cracks occur 
and you might just fall through one now and then. But you remain 
faithful to the cause. There is one Elecraft radio that will never leave 
my shack and that one is my faithful K2/10 with that wonderful receiver. 
It has the battery supply and that great antenna tuner and every option 
except the 100W amp.

Jim, W4ATK

K2, K-Line
