I think you're grossly underestimating the disruptive cost of a move
like that. The loss of product flow (or at the very least the cost of
the redundancy involved to avoid it, the massive time spent
orchestrating such a move, the undefined cost of the probable loss of
key personnel who probably would not join the move, the cost of
retraining new manufacturing personnel, the potential cost of defective
product caused by the move (it happens ... trust me) ... not to mention
the transportation cost of the move itself. All to react to cost
increases from suppliers that have nothing to do with the location of
the firm itself.
Defend it all you want, but it's a poorly considered proposal.

Jim,
I do have a clue on Ca. It's a great place to live but expensive as heck
compared to most places except maybe NYC. San Diego is one of my favorite
places to live.

Have you guys considered moving the company to a state with a lower cost

If you had a clue about the quality of life in the part of California where
Elecraft is located, you wouldn't be asking that question. I live a few
miles down the road, and it's as close to heaven as I can imagine.
