XG2 preassembled?

Gary Dezern
Does Elecraft (or someone else) sell the XG2 pre-assembled?  My soldering "skills" for anything smaller than a PL259 suck.  

Thanks
Gary / k3wow

I put together an XG2 earlier this year and I think that soldering skills of any sort might work.  It is a pretty easy little thing to put together.  I personally think it is far easier then soldering PL259 stuff.

Also, the whole kit does not take more then 60 minutes to put together, maybe even 30 minutes.

Gary - I found the XG2 to be very easy to build, and I have pretty lousy
eyesight.  If you build one, take a look at how I built mine into a metal
box in the "Equipment modifications" section of my website at www.ad5x.com.
