Jerry !
Well said. Thank you for giving voice to the 'silent majority' on this the
TenTec reflector. Those of you who are so pleased with your K3’es should say
so on the appropriate site and not here on the Ten Tec one .I have the OII
as my main station and before that had always been a Drake user. I also did
consider a K3 and even had one on back order only to cancel it later.” So
please post on TenTec what is TenTec and to Elecraft what is Elecraft” and
do no clutter up our e-mail with so much of the same old point scoring
posting's.
73’es Tony EI6DL (A very happy OII user)
