I check my e-mail several times a day. And I check my SPAM filter once
every day. In the world we live in, nothing is perfect.

Manufacturers live in the real world, and can only buy parts that are
manufactured by other companies. When those other companies
discontinue a part, alternative sources must be found, and that
sometimes isn't easy, or the alternative is not of good quality. Many
years ago, a fine US company called Ten Tec, based near Nashville,
TN, developed the first solid state power amp based on Motorola
output devices. After a year or two, Motorola discontinued them, they
were unique parts, and Ten Tec had to discontinue the amp. I believe
I remember reading that Elecraft was having this issue with parts for
some of their older products.
As to contacting support -- the telephone works great.
I called support and they called me back and they admonished me (I've
told this story many times) for not emailing them back. My email was in
their spam folder.
I can't think of a way around having spam filters, so you really do have
to call them if you're not hearing back.
