[Elecraft] K4

[Fred Jensen]

It all depends on your definition of "made." A huge fraction of 
electronic components and most silicon is fabricated in a variety of 
countries in or close to Asia these days.  There really isn't any choice 
anymore.  If your "made" includes them, essentially nothing electronic 
is made in the US anymore.  OTOH, if your "made" includes only 
conceptual and detailed design, assembly, testing, and finished product 
logistics, then there is a big difference between Elecraft and 
FT<mumble> in terms of where it's made

And as previously stated so well, add boards anytime to  update or add desired features without having to pay for another “box” to house all the interiors. Of course this is in MHO.
