[Elecraft] Katiegram - Stay or go, yes or no

[Don Brown]

Hi

Stay with the kit. It saves $240 and only requires a few hours of turning a 
screwdriver, plugging in circuit boards and messing about with the menus for 
the calibration. Really easy stuff, really good manual and you will feel 
better about knowing a little about the works inside in case you want to add 
an option or two later.

Thanks
