[Elecraft] K2 100 Tuner question

[Don Wilhelm]

Josh,

I may not be up to speed, but there are startup costs for anything.  
Those costs have to be added to the product cost and for small volumes, 
it can be prohibited.
Entering a CAD file, getting scheduling from a small shop that may have 
a full schedule already can be costly.

If someone draws the parts using a CAD program like Solid Edge, the resulting 3D models can be utilized directly by the vendor. Even small job shops have laser cutting ability, especially for small gauge material like this.
