[Elecraft] K4 info

[Grant Youngman]

I think a comment I made started this discussion.

I don’t have any problem with anyone setting up a group for anything they want.  If K4 users want a distinct group, that’s fine.  I’m a subscriber, too.

What happens more often than not, though, is that everything gets cross-posted anyway.  And the replies get cross-posted, and so on.  So thinking that you won’t see posts that don’t interest you on the main reflector because there happens to be a single-product group is a bit parochial.  And not everyone with an interest, or who might know something, is going to be a subscriber to the K4 group, or vice-versa.  I do agree that I expect my delete key to be very active while everyone is bragging about THEIR K4 being shipped, and the unboxing videos, and the “first reaction” posts, and the issues people find, especially those related to the inevitable failures to RTFM, and all of that.  Anyone who’s been hanging around any new product-related reflector knows what to expect, such as long OT threads about 160M antennas, etc :-)

All of it is interesting.  The delete key (or its filter equivalent) can take care of what isn’t.  I’ve personally learned a lot from what seems to be OT posts, or posts about radios I don’t own, both here and on other lists/groups.
