A minor correction to your minor correction.
My statement was that Elecraft AS A COMPANY is inexperienced dealing
with contractors.
It's clear from what's happened with the K3 that even if an
individual at Elecraft had SOME experience in "another life" with
outside contractors, it wasn't enough experience to correctly handle
this situation.
There are thousands of ways contractors outside can mess up, cause
damage and then hide the damage until it's too late. It takes lots
of accumulated experience to sidestep the landmines large companies
have entire departments that do nothing but monitor suppliers'
status obviously Elecraft couldn't or didn't do this. As a
company, Elecraft stepped in the landmines.
