Dave,

What is the "profit center"?
Elecraft provides the firmware at no cost, and the Utilities to load that firmware at no cost to the customer - that is an expense, not a profit. Additional support is a loss to Elecraft because of the development dollars. The Raspberry Pi (and its variants) element is small compared to supporting the mainstream OS Utility applications.

  That's something that would not be a warranty repair..
You might be overlooking a profit center here...  <snicker>.

Sorry I had too...
