[Elecraft] Appliances vs. kits [was: RE: Can Elecraft takeover...]

[N2TK, Tony]

Hi Eric,
Yeah, same here. Bought the K2 for its size and performance to be used as a
backup rig at home and to take along on DXpeditions. It just happened to be
a kit which had very little to do with the decision.
Dayton is wonderful as usual.

I'm still not entirely sure who the typical Elecraft customer is; I doubt
there is one. But they aren't buying for economy. I'm not sure there is a
single driving reason. I bought for performance and small package size
despite the disadvantage of being a kit. Others see kits as an advantage.
Overall, ham gear has NEVER been cheaper or more affordable by the average
ham.
