[Elecraft] Other groups [was: K4 shipping info]

[turnbull]

Alan, I suppose as I own or have owned a majority of the Elecraft products; they are all of interest for me.    The involvement of Elecraft engineers and technicians has always been a big plus for me.    Hope your venture goes well.   Enjoy your radio. I appreciate your balance.73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Each to their own. :-)What II will say about groups in general is that by anyone not subscribing to a group which caters for a subject they're interested in, may miss out in snippets of information that they'd like to have had.Groups are usually free to join, so there's no money downside from that point of view. The major downside of multiple groups is the possible amount of traffic. I cope with this by using an initial text-only email client, where I see the subject line and sender's address. I can also read some of the body text if I wish. Anything not of interest is marked for deletion and is removed when the email client 'hands over' to the main email client. It's quick and easy, but maybe not for everyone, but by doing it that way, I can belong to several similar groups, not miss anything and cope with traffic that doesn't concern me.Being a member of several groups allows me to compartmentalise my interest in multiple products from the same source.Not trying to 'push' an agenda. Just my personal point of view.73,Alan.
