That's how the deer control the overpopulation of Hondas.

Hi all
I think the RoHS issue has been flogged as much as it can be.
I also think Elecrafts position is being confused a bit (as I understand it
anyway).
As far as I can see there is no claim that the kits are RoHS compliant.
This blossomed from the price increase thread where I believe

Sorry Ive been gone for a while, what exactly is ROHS and how does it affect
me? Is it just the type of solder and what the compenents themselves are made
out of? And do I have to go out and buy a special soldering iron now?

It's a big subject, at work I have this web site bookmarked:

as a good place to start.

To be honest, RoHS only directly impacts manufacturers who ship into
Europe. Primarily it changes the type of solder that the leads of
components are tinned with in our kits from lead based solders to
non-lead based varieties.
Either type of part can still be easily soldered with regular lead
