[Elecraft] ADT-200A Fully DSP transceiver

[Dave-Boat Guy]

The electrical specs of this radio may not be as "good" as the K3 or other radios for that matter but, you can't ignore the construction of this radio.

It looks like it is using mil-spec construction techniques, which isn't cheap to implement.

If the Elecraft radios had an option to purchase thicker aluminum panels, which shouldn't be a real expensive option, it would give it the feel of something that will be a $4k+ radio (with options).  Although we may not like the Asian brands, it's pretty tough to ignore what a sub $1k radio gives you in terms of mechanical construction techniques.
