Wow -- I kind of touched a nerve with the "big boy" reference! I recall this term was used by Dave Benson in some of his SWL kit documentation. It merely referred the reader to a stripped-down section of the instructions if one wanted to bypass the lengthy, step-by-step narrative... My point is that manufacturers, such as the premier innovator, Elecraft, should not be constrained in their product designs by offering only through-hole or solder-only kits. Why, even TenTec has leap-frogged the industry in this area with their open-source, Rebel QRP platforms!
I apologize for the poor use of words. As a relative newcomer to ham radio, it was not my intention to denigrate anyone on this reflector - especially those who have vastly superior technical knowledge and capabilities. 73 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Re-K1-4-4-band-version-gone-Hand-SMT-Never-tp7591431p7591475.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
