Purchased Elecraft KX-1 plus accessories from N4EUK after face-to-face. #The rig is excellent, the extras are great, and people like Steve, N4EUK, are what ham radio is all about.

Further developments re this sale...
I found that receiver performance was down on one of the KX-1's three bands. #Steve, N4EUK, offered a complete refund if I was not satisfied.
I referred to the Elecraft website list of builders, and found Randy, N4TVC, a local ham who offered to help. #He examined and tested the rig, found the problem, and fixed it (for free!).
I believe these two guys are typical of what most ham radio operators are, or strive to be. #Gentlemen, fair, generous, technically competent, and a pleasure to know.
All the scammers and low-lifes we hear about too often in this forum should read this and feel ashamed. #There are plenty of decent hams out there whom they should learn from and emulate. #Thank you, N4EUK and N4TVC!
