Hi Wayne,

Between '"bare" (or minimally enclosed) packaging option,' 'user's own
weatherproof enclosure,' and mention of "average' climates' weatherproofing,
it's not clear if Elecraft will offer a remote weatherproof enclosure which
might do for a large percentage of users non-extreme climates.  I'll not
attempt to define extreme.

I'm pleased to know that such an ATU is coming from Elecraft.
