[Elecraft] not bashing a product just a warning to future purchasers.

[Dr. William J. Schmidt]

I find their kits to be the exact opposite of your experience. I have six of their kits, the last two were build by my 15 YO son (at the time) with zero problems.  They also have a forum like Elecraft and a very helpful users group and designer, which leads me to ask why you would post this on the Elecraft forum instead of the qrp-labs forum?  Elecraft and qrp-laps fill different segments of business and have no overlap in products.
