[Elecraft] K1-4 4 band version gone? (Hand SMT---Never)

[Bruce Beford]

I build all my SMT projects with my 30+ year old Weller WTCPT iron, and an
Optivisor. Have been for years now.

I think what many of us are saying, is that type of construction is not 
for everyone.
 
I have a nice Weller soldering station and a variety of tips for it, as 
well as enough 63/37 solder to last a lifetime.
Somehow it fell into my tool pouch from time to time, when I was in the 
Air Force working on air traffic control radar systems.  :-)
I'd rather spend my money on other items for the shack, than for the 
tools necessary to do SMT work.
