[Elecraft] not bashing a product just a warning to futurepurchasers.

[wb4jfi at knology.net]

While this is OT, I think it deserves a response.  I have built several 
QRP-Labs kits, and have had no problems, other than an initial short in the 
oven-based oscillator, which we were warned about in the instructions.

These are NOT HeathKit level kits, but almost nothing is anymore.  I 
recommend the QRP-Labs Ultimate 3S beacon and other stuff to anyone with 
some building experience.  The Ultimate 3S is a good value to me.

As always, YMMV, but these are not nearly as bad as the Chinese ham 
projects.

I know that Elecraft does not want people bashing other companies products
and I in no way want to bash them. I do however want to warn other kit
builder and kit lovers to please use caution when ordering any kit from
QRP-LABS. First it ships from Japan, second the products are so poorly made
that the part leads bend when holding the part up by the end of the lead.
The design was difficult and instructions are very crude.
They are Cheap in price lol but also cheap in quality .

Thanks hope this helps someone save their money.
