[Elecraft] REPRISE: As good as it gets...for now?

[Don Wilhelm]

Rod,

If you keep it dry, electronics will store nicely for a good long time.  
Temperature is not a consideration as long as condensation is 
controlled.  If it is at a temperature extreme when put back into 
service, a bit of time to acclimate to ambient before applying power is 
prudent.

Remove any batteries before storing - that has been learned from 
experience :-) , even though I know better, it sometimes happens - 
reminders are good IMHO.
