Just wondering if crossband is possible without significant hardware changes
for those who have transverters or a second receiver.

The Sienna would be a neat "full kit" to build. Brian Wood W0DZ, a
retired Agilent test equipment designer and engineer, has placed a lot
of his blood, sweat, and tears into the Sienna.
Another aspect of not offering the K3 and KX3 as full solder kits is the
level of customer support required
Sounds like the DZKit Sienna might be right up your alley, Bill. Seems like
only a handful have been built in the three or four years that it's been in
production, so you might also end up with a collector's item!
I too enjoyed building my K2 (and my KX1), but have sold both and am now very
hap
Too many surface mount devices. Not everyone has that skill for that
kind of kit.

It would be a nightmare for Elecraft. I do some SMT work on small kits
like the AmQRP DDS and some homebrew. I keep a stock of all the common
parts because I've tweezered them across the room more than a few times.
Elecraft would come to a halt trying to fill requests for dupe parts.

Well Dave, that made me laugh out loud ;-)
And can you imagine trying to be responsible for kitting and supporting
that cell phone kit? What a killer...
No disrespect to you at all Bill - I'm with you in theory. Loved that
build of my K2 and all that came with her. Just don't think they could
That's kind of like saying you'd like to be able to build your own cell
phone. Possible in theory, but you wouldn't like the result.

Bill,
I sympathize with you, but the reality is that a large scale SMD kit
would create a great number of customer support problems. You and I may
be able to do SMD, but that is not the majority.. Add to that the fact
that the "board houses" can produce boards fully populated with SMD
parts
How about making the K3 an honest to goodness kit like the K2? Elecraft
started out as a kit company
but lately seems to be drifting away from the concept. Assembling modules is
just not the same for me. The building of the kit was the reason I chose the K2
and there are over 7000 other hams o
