Simple. The proper pronunciation has always been right on the Home Page of the Elecraft website: How do you say Elecraft?Ele (as in Elegant) + Craft.

Re: [Elecraft] Pronunciation ??
Phil, I think you have the right pronunciation. I've always heard it pronounced with three syllables, as if it were formed from the concatenation of ele from elegant and craft from craftsmanship. I've talked with the founders, and whenever I've heard them say Elecraft, it's always with three syllables.

Re: [Elecraft] Pronunciation
Heh, heh From whatever parts, in whatever dialect, the Ele is pronounced exactly like the Ele in elegant and craft is pronounced exactly like craft.
