[Elecraft] KPA1500

I would think that for the cost of shipping two packages he could find some young lad that would be glad to move the two boxes from a single carton and transport them to his ham shack. Sounds like he is over complicating the issue. I also have a bad back but try to be resourceful to get something accomplished.
