Before purchasing my K3, I e-mailed Elecraft and specifically asked if the K3 was built on a RoHS process. I was told that units destined for the US were built using leaded solder. My concern was that I did not want a radio built using a RoHS process and this was a reason for purchasing the K3 rather than something else. I hope I was not given incorrect information.

But the RoHS stuff can be had fairly inexpensively... ~Brett (KC7OTG) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
