[Elecraft] (KX1) A Story for a Winter Day in NY

[Brian & Cyndi]

Mike, I find this a very curious belief. Do you want a schematic to know 
how the thing works, or how to repair it.

If you only want to know how the radio works, would a block diagram and 
a fairly detailed explanation from Wayne be enough (given they want to 
protect their design as much as possible)?

If you want to repair it, are you really skilled enough in soldering 
SMD's to do this? If so, my hat's off to you, sir! I've spent a lifetime 
working in the electronics industry and even in retirement I still enjoy 
restoring vintage electronics. But if I was faced with servicing a PCB 
full of SMD's, I'd say "Today my jurisdiction ends here"* and send it 
off to Elecraft for repair.

Just my $0.02, but you seem to be missing out on a wonderful rig by a 
questionable requirement. Put another way, do you also have a schematic 
for your microwave oven and cellphone?
