I would be very surprised if outsourcing manufacturing has NOT been thought
about and discussed behind closed doors. How could you not at least think
about that with production being as backlogged as it is? I wouldn't expect to
see this any time soon, because it would take many, many months to set this up
with standards high enough for Elecraft, but if this radio comes to dominate
both the high-end performance and mid-range price-point markets, it seems like
a no-brainer to me. Is this heresy? Maybe... :-) But seems to me it's reality
business-wise.

The quickly-becoming-famous quote by the Ducie Dxpedition team was
picked up
in the ARRL e-mail letter today:
* Elecraft K3 radio. They said "The outstanding receiver and
transmitter
characteristics allowed us to run two positions simultaneously on
any band
-- even the very narrow 30 meter band -- with absolutely no
interference.
Good design makes the complex appear simple: the ins and outs of this
sophisticated radio were quickly mastered by the operator team, none
of whom
had seen a K3 before the expedition."
Time for Eric/Wayne to take a deep breath and smile again!
