Over many years in the R&D business, I learned that there is a contractor to
do most anything in CA. You have such a base of Aerospace cos. who scramble
now for a piece of the pie, that there are contract manufacturers and board
houses to expand your production capability. The trick is to find the good
ones, who can work with you on your schedule and price point.
However, there are easier ways now to ramp up production on mass items like
circuit boards now that robotic assembly is common for surface mount
components. The leaders at Elecraft impress me as folks who carefully think
things thru, and work for the joy of what they have created, not just for
the bucks they might earn. I would think they have their ducks lined up
before the K3 was ever announced.
