Humph....i just completed a nice desk in the motor home.
Why was I not informed that it needed to be wider to allow for a new external speaker?

Pretty ordinary communication from Elecraft I reckon. I should have been given a heads up.

Hi,
Just making the point that as things are added, you will need more
space...  I once built a tight cabinet like that, and within a year, it
was too small...
