[Elecraft] Elecraft Wish List

[Don Allen]

The Sienna would be a neat "full kit" to build.  Brian Wood W0DZ, a 
retired Agilent test equipment designer and engineer, has placed a lot 
of his blood, sweat, and tears into the Sienna.

Another aspect of not offering the K3 and KX3 as full solder kits is the 
level of customer support required.  Although Elecraft has wonderful and 
expedient customer service, a full kit K3 and KX3 may be more than they 
wish to address.
