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

[N4OI - Ken]

Wow -- I kind of touched a nerve with the "big boy" reference!  I recall this
term was used by Dave Benson in some of his SWL kit documentation.  It
merely referred the reader to a stripped-down section of the instructions if
one wanted to bypass the lengthy, step-by-step narrative...  My point is
that manufacturers, such as the premier innovator, Elecraft, should not be
constrained in their product designs by offering only through-hole or
solder-only kits. Why, even TenTec has leap-frogged the industry in this
area with their open-source, Rebel QRP platforms! 

I apologize for the poor use of words.  As a relative newcomer to ham radio,
it was not my intention to denigrate anyone on this reflector - especially
those who have vastly superior technical knowledge and capabilities.
