Evolution of the K3

[Chris G3SJJ]

Great to hear all the news and views of people's K3s. It is interesting
look back to the first announcement, specs and figures being released,
field testers reactions and comments, and now users' comments. The theme
all along has been of handling and performance expectations exceeded.
Now that shipment of orders placed up to 9 May has been made I am
waiting excitedly to hear from Aptos of the impending shipment of my K3,
ordered on 14 May. This will also mark the end of the first production.
Another milestone in the evolution of the K3. I will be watching my
inbox carefully over the next few days as I now assume shipment of
orders placed 10 to 14 May will be made during next week. For those
interested in these things, for serial numbers 100 to 200, I note an
average of around 15 units a week being shipped, so production is really
starting to ramp up, and my original thoughts about 1st prodn run volume
seems to be tracking well.

Exciting times      Chris G3SJJ

Ahhh....not so fast. I placed my order on May 9th, and have yet to receive order/shipment confirmation. With that said, it seems that the predicted shipment is not exactly accurate. We will have to wait and see. I will keep you updated.
