[Elecraft] [K1][K2] thoughts

[Byron Servies]

Hi there!

The K4 looks amazing! It will make a lot of people very happy, though
I think Elecraft missed a trick not offering an optional 40lb lead
base for it.

When the K3s came out, I happily purchased a used K3/500 line and
upgraded them. They are fantastic! I have used other peoples K3 setups
on expeditions for years, and now I have a set for my own. They have
already be wonderful.

But, dang, I love my K1 and K2 (I have the complete"grey line"). They
are the ones I actually want to turn on, and when I do, they are just
so delightful to use. For Christmas, I even bought a new set of
Bioenno batteries and solar panels just for them.

So, yeah, I am very happy that Elecraft keeps pushing forward.  It is
a business; they must.  But I still yearn for a new "hands on ham
radio" kit. Maybe a mini-module, or a T2? Come to think of it, the T1
is the only kit I haven't built ... hmm.
