[Elecraft] Solder fumes

It goes without saying that Elecraft have produced an excellent piece of technology in the K3 but even in 
the kit form it doesn't quite have the "I built it" feeling like the other Elecraft products. Having said that I'm 
sure there is no way that the average builder could attempt something quite so complex given the amount 
of surface mount involved.

So, does the K3 represent the end of kit building as we know it - where do we go from here. What could 
Elecraft offer that would be both technologically challenging (in design and for the builder) and capable 
of being home built with a mixture of large SMD (some pre-mounted perhaps) and normal components.

How about a new design K2 
ELF receiver.
Station monitor scope

What would you like to see next ......

Those of us here that have built K1, K2, Kx1, XV's etc will know what I'm talking about - this building 
thing is addictive, it must be something to do with the solder fumes.
