[Elecraft] On the advisability of selling kit radios

[DAVID GROPPER]

Having worked (contract) for several small companies that having a great product, like Topsy, "just grew" 

They got bigger, brought in the Bean-counters, which meant "cost reduction" (aka cheaper) and the quality went down.

I strongly suspect that's what has happened to Toyota with their commonality of parts (cost reduction)

I wouldn't like to see Elecraft go the same route

As for building kit radios... nothing beats the "Wow! it's working! " feeling  ;^D
