[Elecraft] Surface Mount tech; Orion; and K2/100

[Bill Steffey]

the real problem will come as the chip factories make the new cool chips
in surface mount ONLY.... zowie

when, not if, the market for thru the hole parts continues to diminish... 
the chip guys will not have a market , and the SMTs will happen sooner.

the solution... buy another K2 with all the options.....
