Hi, I have had very good luck with Elecraft repair, both, under warranty, and not under warranty. Decent, and fair service, save one incident, (long return time), during the worst of the COVID and fires in CA, which I completely understand. I too am on SS and retired. In all cases I have

I had a KPA500 issue 5 months after purchase. I took out the coil (the heavy part) and paid for shipping back to the mother ship. They fixed it really fast and sent back at no charge. Could not be more pleased with their service.  On Monday, August 1, 2022 at 03:52:30 PM EDT, wrote:

When I plug my AKG K240 headphones into the front panel jack, my K4D produces static when transmitting.  Removing the headphones plug, my transmitted audio is normal.  If I use the rear jack with these same headphones, there is no problem with my transmitted audio.The Elecraft K4 operating
