[Elecraft] KX2 Mic

[turnbull]

Friends,    Why bring up the CW v SSB canard.   There is a supply issue.     I too prefer Wayne to stick to engineering new features and work arounds.    It is good that on iccassion he lets us know what he is doing.   Wayne and Eric are active hams.    A complaint was warranted but Elecraft is a small first class company in a struggle.    They are not alone.          Peace my good friends - your points are well made.    Elecraft is under pressure and I just pray her principals do not retire at the normal age.     As much as I appreciate the market, please do not go the Drake or TenTec route.   So many fine marks are but a memory.     73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Galaxy

Or-the KX2 has a perfectly good built in mic. I’m also sure you could adapt a different mic if you’re really in need of one. As far as the complaint about Wayne posting his pedestrian mobile activity..do you see the CEO of ICOM Yaesu or Kenwood posting about actually using their products in a creative way?? This is what makes Elecraft such a good company to support. Are there supply issues? Sure,and why have them wasting time with constant updates that say nothing new? I’d rather have the precious labor time used to address the actual issues. And lastly..maybe people should just get outside and use the radios as they were intended. Better for your mental and physical health instead of sitting around finding things to nitpick about a small company trying to make innovative products. Tomorrow I’m taking the KX2 and AX2 to Mary’s peak in the central coast range of Oregon. Hiking and SOTA at 4500 feet. At age 71 I go slow but I’m going and boy a lot more fun than sitting around reading emails or watching the tube.
