The Sienna would be a neat "full kit" to build. Brian Wood W0DZ, a
retired Agilent test equipment designer and engineer, has placed a lot
of his blood, sweat, and tears into the Sienna.
Another aspect of not offering the K3 and KX3 as full solder kits is the
level of customer support required. Although Elecraft has wonderful and
expedient customer service, a full kit K3 and KX3 may be more than they
wish to address.

Sounds like the DZKit Sienna might be right up your alley, Bill. Seems like
only a handful have been built in the three or four years that it's been in
production, so you might also end up with a collector's item!
I too enjoyed building my K2 (and my KX1), but have sold both and am now very
happy with my K3 and KX3. I don't see how either of these technological marvels
could be marketed profitably as solder kits.

How about making the K3 an honest to goodness kit like the K2? Elecraft
started out as a kit company
but lately seems to be drifting away from the concept. Assembling modules is
just not the same for me. The building of the kit was the reason I chose the K2
and there are over 7000 other hams out there who felt the same.
