+++++++++++++++++++++ Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2001 08:16:51 -0800 From: Wayne Burdick Subject: [Elecraft] eHam.net review site If you're looking for product reviews of ham gear, check out http://www.eham.net/reviews/ This site is very well-organized and has categories for just about everything, including QRP transceivers, and it's easy to add your own reviews, or to forward reviews to friends. (If you use Netscape, be patient--sites like this that use large tables can take a long time to load due to a quirk in the browser.) A bit of a historical note: When eHam first came on the scene, they put the K2 into the "QRP Radios" category, rather than the "HF Transceivers" category. We convinced eHam's management to list the K2 in *both* places, for two reasons. First, at 15 watts, some would consider it a "medium-power" rig. Second, the K2 is a high-performance desktop rig; the fact that it doesn't put out 100 watts seems to be a secondary consideration for many of our customers. As a result, you'll see about the same number of K2 reviews in both categories. As for the K1, you'll notice that it still says "Two-Band HF Transceiver kit" in the description at the top of the K1 review page. We've already asked them to change this to "Four-Band...", which they'll do next week. (I don't think anyone has posted a review of the 4-band K1 yet.) There are lots of review sites on the web, so if anyone else has a favorite, please let us know. We like to keep track of what people are saying about ham gear in general, but especially about the K1 and K2 ;) 73, Wayne ++++++++++++++++++++= From: "Russell Boutell" To: elecraft at mailman.qth.net Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2002 13:22:00 -1000 Subject: [Elecraft] DX Prowess of HF Receivers - QEX Sep/Oct 2002 Hello, Good news; it seems ARRL has opened up this article for view on their website.
