[Elecraft] Cammo KX2? (Was: Copy cat - no way)

[Charlie T]

Only the official "CD" portable/mobile and base station Gonsets were yellow
and had the traditional  R/W/B Civil Defense triangle logo on them.
I don't believe they were available to the general public.
The first two Gonset Communicators portable & base, were gray hammertone and
the third generation was white, with blue/gray knobs, very nice looking too.

One of our friends has three kids who are US Naval officers.  She made a
significant comment on the dark grey and black cammo pattern that the Navy
uses - it makes it very easy for someone overboard to not be sighted!  :)

If I remember the Gonset "Gooney Bird" transceivers of the 1950s, they were
bright yellow, but safety orange is my all-time favorite.
