For those at Dayton...

Hi,

Can those that are not able to attend and get to the Elecraft booth get
some information from those lucky enough to be in attendance?

A narrative from those there could be of interest to those of us at
home. Anything new? Are they displaying and taking KAT500 orders? Any
updates on KX3 options and status?

Inquiring Elecrafter's want to know....

In Advance, TNX!

73,

If KAT500 orders are going to be taken at Dayton I'm sure Elecraft, in
fairness to those who can't get there, will put the KAT500 on the website
order page concurrently, especially as price and some other details have
still to be announced. Also, time difference and cost can make it difficult
to call from outside the USA.

73 to all

Re: For those at Dayton...

In reply to this post by Ken Allen-2

Thank you Ken!!

Based on that I called and there are still people at Aptos and I was able to
place the order and get my time for placement in the queue.

As much as I wanted the kit the difference was minimal and if like the KX3 I
paid a small premium for not only factory assembly but probably an earlier ship
date.

Let the wait begin.

Thank you Vicky for taking the order, well done.

Now if I was at Dayton I could ask a technical question. Will I be able to
make my antenna selection within the KAT500 at the K3.
That would help with laying out the station. I could place the KAT500 within
sight but out or arms reach. Saving valuable close desk/shelf space. Anybody
know having asked that question at Dayton or by being a field tester.

YeeeeHaaaaa! Got mine in as well. Talked to Madalyn (think I spelled it right) and she said she was gonna kill whoever let it slip that it could be ordered by phone - LOL! I guess the phones have been ringing off the table since the news got out.

I haven't seen a price posted yet, but the wired version is $699.95 plus shipping and the kit version will be $649.95 plus shipping. They aren't able to figure the shipping yet because it's not up on the website.

They're still trying to tie down shipping costs to put it on the web.

Unfortunately, Eric (who does the website updates) is at Dayton, so you
will not likely see it on the website until he returns to Watsonville/Aptos.

Just my opinion, but then Eric has surprised us with some wondrous
accomplishments before, and he may do it again if he is not too tired
tonight.

They told me I was around #21 to order. That's probably not real accurate

Somehow those ladies who answer the phone at Elecraft can read minds. When I called and said I'd like to place an order, they asked me if I wanted to order the KAT500!
