And I agree with you and Kevin Ron. Sometimes with growth cracks occur and you might just fall through one now and then. But you remain faithful to the cause. There is one Elecraft radio that will never leave my shack and that one is my faithful K2/10 with that wonderful receiver. It has the battery supply and that great antenna tuner and every option except the 100W amp.

Yes, it is clear Elecraft's primary customer base has shifted from builders
to operators. By "operators" I mean Hams who want a rig they plug in, turn
on, and use on the air or perhaps tinker with interfacing it with their
computer, etc.
I agree with Kevin.

Does anyone remember the good old days, back when the K2 was king, you
would call support and would be routed to an engineer or perhaps in
the case of the DSP2,  Lyle himself? I remember developing a real
friendship with a guy out west, who worked from his home. Eventually
we shared phone numbers. Or you would turn to the back of the K2
manual and there find the complete schematics and chapter 9, "Circuit
Details"?  Yeah, I know, those were the days of thru-hole kits, solder
smoke, and, "gee I wish I had not done that", when you lifted a trace
and had to break out the blue wire to make things right again. Things
were better then....those really were the good old days...things were
more personal then.....
