Read the reviews on www.eham.net From what I have read, they seem to be
one of only a few ham radio companies that still care about service after
the sale. Both the K1 and K2's have fantastic reviews.

I don't own one personally, but I've used them before and I like them. I'm
a CW op, and the K1 is a fantastic little rig. I'd like to own one, but
don't have the $$$ yet!

Other people that I've spoken with like their Elecraft rigs as well. The
reviews on eham.net are very positive, and from what I understand if you
need help constructing the kit there's no shortage of assistance.

I have a K1
I was on the air with it about an hour ago.
Pretty amazing little rig!
Easy to build
I used a higher quality pot for tuning.
Same basic thing...just higher quality.
Made by Bourns...bought from Mouser.
I built my K1 with the noise blanker and antenna tuner option....and
another option that I can't remember!!!
The rig worked right from the start.
If I were to do it again, I think I would get it with the pre-wound toroids
(coils).
It wasn't hard winding them...just tedious!

I've only heard good comments about these rigs, which is pretty
significant in itself. (Remember, though, that these are KITS rather
than ready out of the box systems.)

There are also some groups on Yahoo! Groups which specialize in QRP
discussions, also some specific to the Elecraft product line. You might
want to visit http://groups.yahoo.com and search for "qrp" and for
"elecraft" to find them. In the Elecraft-specific groups, you'll also
find photos plus information files about mods, hints and kinks, etc.
specific to these rigs.

Elecraft also just came out with a new CW rig, about the size of a
paperback novel with the paddles built in. Worth checking their web
site about it.
