They are built to order and must pass an intensive “burn in” process before they are shipped.
Also note that Elecraft is a small company and they don’t have 100 robots building radios. More like a couple or three guys doing it by hand. Your radio will be assembled by careful loving hands, tested and carefully packaged and shipped to you so that you can enjoy using it for a very long time. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.
