[Elecraft] New product suggestion

[Don Wilhelm]

  Dave,

Selling re-branded items is a "bag of worms" in many cases.  The 
re-brander must take full responsibility for any warranty issues, and 
the re-brander is at the mercy of the originator for providing a quality 
product that meets specifications.

There has been enough discussion about the Elecraft USB to serial 
adapter ( the previous Prolific adapter) that everyone should heed - 
let's not pass that same legacy on to power supplies.  Some things are 
outside the control of Elecraft and the subtleties of "specmanship" may 
miss the eyes of even the most conscientious engineer.  I cling to the 
KISS principle - let each manufacturer be responsible for his own 
product.  The integration of other manufacturer's product (like the K3) 
should be done first on the specifications, and secondly on endorsements 
of other manufacturer's products..

73,
Don W3FPR
