i tend to think you’re right. If Elecraft has determined that it isn’t economical for them to continue to produce the EC2, then perhaps we shouldn’t be giving side eye about what it costs to laser cut a piece of metal at even a mom and pot shop. Sure .. maybe that’s cheap, but there’s a good deal more that goes into producing an actual market-ready finished product. I could list quite a few additional steps besides metal cutting … but that wouldn’t prove much. Any more that arguing that laser cutting metal is cheap … unless you’d like to have raw laser cut metal as a cabinet for a radio …
