I have no problem with that. I'd probably buy it myself fully assembled to

actually says that.
Sorry if I mis-read it.
BUT, if Elecraft starts offering more and more pressembled kits, don't they
begin to fundamentally change what Elecraft means to hams? And would they
lose the "niche advantage" they enjoy right now? That is, do they just
become an American version of Yaesu/Kenwood/Icom/whatever packaging Made in
China circuit boards in gee-whiz cases? I don't know the answer to that.
Interesting problem....that's why I suggested that some enterprizing person(s)
offer pre-built/kit noise blankers.
I suppose the real purists wouldn't buy a mike or paddle from ELecraft since
they are either third party or pre-assembled.
Gee....your noise level is only S8....that's pretty quiet(g).
