[Elecraft] Orion vs K2 " MADE in USA "???

FYI, there is nothing wrong with buying products that help give fellow
citizents good jobs.  No one ever harasses people from these other countries
for buying home grown stuff.  In fact, they are at least as ardent about doing
so as we are.  In my experience living in the England and Japan, I would say
they are more so.  The only problems we have in this country is people more
often have gonnen violent over the issue, instead of just buying domestic goods
because it is good for the domestic economy.
