Maybe Elecraft can weigh-in about the "Burn-In Time" for the boards used in the kits.
I have all kits and suspect that my Elecrafts are actually as good as factory except they were assembled by a rank amateur (Elecraftwise). I do know that I had no qualms about modify the filters or motherboard for the recent low freq operation; because I knew how to disassemble my K3. If I ever have to trouble shoot any of the K-Line or KX3, I know where to look once I get the schematic out! When I first went from Kenmore to Elecraft, the availability of the kit made it a know brainer to go to Elecraft. The customer service and firmware & hardware updates have been the icing on my Elecraft cake. 73 George AI4VZ -----Original Message----- From: Gee I disagree that factory built value is nil. When I bought my K3 I was told factory builds went through a 24 hour burn in, and then checked for specs. That to me is value. If a used item is 75% or more of new item pricing, the warranty alone decides for me to buy new. ______________________________________________________________ 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]
