Hello,
Also, once the boards are stuffed and the techs are not handling sensitive
components the ESD risk is greatly reduced. Once a device in soldered in the
board, the grounds from the chip to the board ground help a lot in reducing
the ESD problems.
However, some devices will work intermittently after being hit by static. It
can punch a hole in the FET and seem good, but fail down the road.
Best,

I bet those blue mats under the rigs are anti static ones hooked up to a
ground bus of some sort?

Looks like Elecraft has at least 3 Techs working on getting those units
out! I wouldn't mind doing that
if they were in NC! It would be much cheaper for them to operate here:)
Looks like they are still in Production Run#1 though with the "orders
with deposits":(
