[Elecraft] FW: K2 Options

[Bill Frantz]

I have built several non-Elecraft kits which included some SMD 
parts. I just followed the instructions and things came out 
fine. The kits were fun to build.

The argument I gave Eric at a ham convention involved getting 
young people interested in and experienced with construction. I 
think this goal is important for both the hobby and the economic 
viability of the country. The argument didn't fly with Eric. I 
think he was concerned with support costs.
