I made the original comment, and I was not "bashing" anyone. TenTec replaced
an entire board and some individual components. I've had Elecraft
troubleshoot boards rather than replace them. Beginning in the 80s, I owned
and liked Ten Tec transceivers, but learned the hard way that their service
department is a profit center. I do not believe that to be true of Elecraft.
Last month, Elecraft did replace a major board in my KPA500 because they
deemed it unrepairable. The bill was under $400.
