Hi, Mike:

        Be careful what you pray for.  Once, after he had done something
particularly cool, I suggested to Wayne that he run for President.  He said
that the first thing he would do as President would be to double the price
of fuel and thereby end global warming.

        I withdrew my suggestion for fear that someone in the U.S. found out
that I was implicated.

        73,
        Gary, VE1RGB

All this is very interesting. It certainly demonstrates the need for the
continual product testing Elecraft undertake. Sending spares to remote
regions with poor postal services, e.g. the UK is an expensive and slow
business.

The problem with the wrench - or hex key is a real one. It also applies to
all the nuts and bolts used in the K3. For unknown reasons of patriotism the
USA is non-metric so these are all in imperial sizes. Getting these outside
of the USA is getting harder and harder. 

Failing Eric or Wayne running for president and changing this, and with
Elecraft now becoming a major international force, would it not be better to
use metric for new Elecraft designs?

Mike, UK.
