Are the elecraft boards American made?
I had a ham friend tell me they were not. But he does not know anything about
elecraft. Plus he is telling me I would be better off to buy a $1400 kenwood

any radio out there.
First, I don't believe this is off topic.
Second, I believe Wayne has stated before the boards are made 'just down the
road' from Elcraft's Aptos HQ.
Third - imho the K3 is a far better rig - but then I'm biased.

Lets see if his questions about the design and operation of that $1400
Kenwood are answered by the designer. I see that Wayne has just
answered a question about the K3 and tuning strong AM signals. He even
answered it on a Saturday morning!

Saturday afternoon here !
Elecraft's service is second to none, I've only found one other vendor to be as
good and that is Dog Park Software, creators of MacLoggerDX (logging for Mac
OSX and other software).

Good choice Chris. Elecraft and Elecraft Support are like the Marine Corps
saying: The difficult we do immediately. the impossible takes a little
longer.

Component parts come from all over the world.
Parts are placed on the PCBs, soldered, and tested all in California.
