Andy, just my 2-bitsworth as a fellow G.

I ordered a kit from Norcal in early January to give me some experience in 
building with SMDs.  It wasn't despatched quickly, so be prepared for a long 
wait.

Some incorrect SMD capacitors were supplied and they were notified of that a 
month ago.  The request was acknowledged with a promise of replacements, but 
the parts still haven't arrived and a polite enquiry has fallen on deaf ears, 
so the small kit remains unbuilt.  I have, however, obtained and built three 
fairly complex SMD-populated units from the US for friends in the interim, so 
building the Norcal is now largely an irrelevance.
 
Their response might be different for North Americans - indeed, it may be just 
my personal misfortune here on this side of the pond, but one thing I'm sure of 
is that nothing beats Elecraft, whose response, communication and service are 
without doubt the best in the business.

Good luck with whatever you build.
