[Elecraft] Unplugging the radio to protect it

[Gary Smith]

In 1980 I bought a then new Kenwood 820S 
which had myriad issues. Looked inside 
after a week and almost every solder joint 
on the boards were cold soldered. 
Contacted kenwood and they said they no 
longer dealt with the dealer I bought from 
and they would not honour the warranty. 

I asked a Japanese friend if she would 
translate a letter to Kenwood in Japan, I 
sent that to their headquarters and never 
heard back. 

I never bought a Kenwood anything again, 
went TenTec. Now I only use Elecraft and 
my old early 90's Alpha.

73,
