KPA1500 S/N 45 arrived at my Utah qth yesterday (Tuesday March 6) after shipping on Friday March 2. For those of you who are closely watching shipment progress and serial numbers, my prepaid order was placed on Aug 24 ten minutes after the “now accepting orders” email had been sent …… and the confirmation email was sent from Elecraft 11 minutes later … 21 minutes after the announcement email.

Don, N5LZ

Don,

You have my full attention!
The "early notification email is "postmarked" at 8:28 pm CDT on August 24th.
My full prepayment receipt with confirmation # is time stamped at 8:47 pm CDT on August 24th.
So, I have a fully paid order confirmed 19 minutes after the notification email was sent.
If this were a "horse race", I beat out Don by a "nose" (2 minutes). But still I have received no information from Elecraft and my order on the web site still indicates "pending processing".
Don, my order # is 110364. How does that compare to yours? Hundreds of orders were likely computer processed in those first few minutes. I'd love to see how they were assigned order numbers as compared to the chronological order of the transactions.

We're all excited. I can't wait to get my KPA-1500!

I placed my order with a $1000 deposit on 8/31. I expect them to put those who fully prepaid for their amplifiers first and those who put a $3000 deposit next in line.

Torrey ... In my case, the notification email was sent at 7:15pm Thu 8/24/2017 MDT and confirmation of my order number 110356 was sent at 7:36pm Thu 8/24/2017 MDT .... (my number preceeds yours by only 8 .... and my confirmation preceeded yours by 11 minutes) .... Other than the fact that initial shipping was delayed 4-5 months beyond the initially announced expected date range, processing and shipping seems to be being handled in a fair and orderly manner ... (first come/first served).

There's no question that the initial announcement generated a huge email pileup!

Hi Jim,

Not broken down by prepaid levels but they did say in the Early
Notification email this:

Deposit Preorders will be shipped from the first production run in the order
received, followed by non-deposit orders.

So I wasn't sitting at the computer when the announcement hit but was
about 18 hours into the 24 hour window. So I had to look at the fully prepaid
order as nothing more than a blatant bribe to move up a few notches on the
shipping list and the free shipping.

It may not be all inclusive but the order number for SN 45 was two
minutes from N9PY's order and mine was 127 later but probably was not all
KPA1500's or all of the KPA1500s. As they said other orders were received by
other means too.

On Feb 6th Eric said they were "shipping KPA1500 for several days now".
So after almost a month there are about 50 units shipped, most likely including
engineering units . Not impressive or encouraging.

I'm not an Elecraft basher I'm Elecraft from 160 meters to 432MHZ.

Re: KPA1500 S/N 45 Arrived

Hi,

Well, isn't this fairly typical behavior by Elecraft on a major new product
introduction? Get used to it. Sure, Icom and the other big two probably have
thousands of units on the shelf when they make a product announcements, but
they have a different business model.

Knut -

A friend got an IC-7610 and waited about ONE YEAR... they obviously did not
have thousands on the shelf when it was announced.
