Does Elecraft build their own modules or are they contracted out to a

A subcontractor builds the boards.
IS keying for CW done with relays or with diodes?
Keying is all solid-state.
Since serial number 31 was a kit, is there a second production line
for assembled units, or do they only have one production line for
both kits and assembled units? If they are working on kits and
assembled units on one production line then it will be some time to
get the first production run shipped assuming a production run is 200
units.
I can't answer this since I don't work for Elecraft, but it would only
be logical to have separate assembly lines, since kitting and assembly
are totally different jobs.
Looking at this as an outsider, and based on the fact that #31 was
just received by its owner, it would seem most of orders in house
will not be shipped out until sometime next year.
If you make the assumption that the rate of production won't increase
over time -- which is highly unlikely, to say the least!
