Well OK, that’s logical. However, I disliked APP’s BEFORE there were any knock-offs or fakes out there. Charlie k3ICH

It’s time to be honest and state facts publically. If we use cheap counterfeit accessory products from China on our Elecraft radios, lets not blame the U.S.A. radio manufacturer when we have a
