is posted is troubles with kits. Is this common ? if so i'm not going to try a kit.
Why don't you build a simple kit and see if you like it? You can get experience
in soldering, familiarity with components, etc. Then you'll know better if
kitbuilding is for you. Tentec makes some simple inexpensive receiver kits:

If you enjoy it, then maybe you'll feel more comfortable tackling a more complex
kit, like an Elecraft transceiver. Obviously there are problems which may occur
when you build a kit, especially if your soldering technique is weak. There is
a lot of help available, but you need to be prepared for the possibility that
you will need to do some troubleshooting.
