Ummm -- we're hams, and are supposed to have at least some technical
background. If we can't open up a product like one of the Elecraft rigs
and at least look around we ought to send our boxtop license back to the
government agency that issued it. That doesn't mean that we should
attempt circuit board level troubleshooting.
Elecraft sells most of their products as kits that require minimal
assembly of pre-tested circuit boards and other components. I built two
K3s, a KX3, two P3s with SVGA boards, and a KPA500. The KPA1500 is not
available as a kit.
