They got my first order correct. I'm taxing old dormant gray matter. But what was their first sales?
If I have it all correct the founders started out selling a PCB and parts kit for a design of a keyer that was in QST, called Digikey. It used Motorola MC 700 series RTL logic on an about 1.5 inch square.PCB. Being the Pack Rat I am I'm sure it is still here somewhere May Elecraft's growth be as great!! I think it is well on its way. 73, Bob K2TK ex KN2TKR (1956) & K2TKR On 5/26/2011 6:12 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > I obtained a CK722 when I was about 9 years old.
