It was a valid question Bill, there was no reason for criticism. Ham radio is an aging group with many being 70+ years old. Some ops of any age may have physical limitations. One of the attractions to the Elecraft line is its small size and light weight. Good luck "creating the funds", I have not figured out a way to do this yet:) I am sure that you will be able to separate the package when it finally arrives and set the KPA1500 up in your station.
John KK9A From: Bill Johnson k9yeq Date: Tue Feb 27 2018 Eric, Thank you for the response. I was looking at the issue of going an additional direction when it arrives. I understand the packaging and was more interested in if it could be shipped in two cartons and you have clearly answered that. Others have "delicately" pointed out all the possibilities including a reference to me being a man. That one really was silly. I can manage. I only asked for a simple answer and you gave it straightforward. I will probably order within the next week or so as I am creating the funds as I type. 72 & 73, Bill K9YEQ, FT’er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100, KAT500, W2, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft <eric at elecraft.com> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2018 7:53 PM To: Bill Johnson <k9yeq at live.com> Cc: Wayne Burdick <n6kr at elecraft.com>; Elecraft <elecraft at mailman.qth.net>; Elecraft_K3 at yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Hi Bill, We ship the RF deck and Power Supply in two individual inner boxes that are then packed with special foam corner inserts into a larger outside shipping box. The foam inserts, air gap and the outer box provide the extra protection needed for shipping via UPS etc. We lose that protection if we ship it using just the two inner boxes on their own. The easiest thing I would suggest is to simply open the top of the outer box upon receipt and then easily remove the lighter two inner boxes separately to move it. They lift out very easily.
