[Elecraft] Where is Elecraft Support ?

[Bill Frantz]

Not being a hardware guy I may be a bit confused, but my vague 
memory from the 1980s, is that manufacturers of that era would 
not use a part that didn't have a second source. This and other 
posts indicate that this policy no longer exists. Too bad. It 
might help with all kinds of supply problems.
