[Elecraft] K4 Kit???

[Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP]

Or you can do what I did with my K3: burn up a static drain resistor on
your antenna entrance panel, decide that the smell is coming from the
K4, take it completely to pieces to try to find the burned
component, and then -- after discovering what actually happened -- put
it all back together again.
