My experience with these products to be quite a variable for quality control and luck of the draw applies. Best of luck to all as you get what you pay for and your experiences will vary dramatically. I try to stick to known sources and US based. IMHO. No response expected.

I find their kits to be the exact opposite of your experience. I have six of their kits, the last two were build by my 15 YO son (at the time) with zero problems. They also have a forum like Elecraft and a very helpful users group and designer, which leads me to ask why you would post this on the Elecraft forum instead of the qrp-labs forum? Elecraft and qrp-laps fill different segments of business and have no overlap in products. Dr. William J.
