K3 Deliveries

[Nick G3RWF]

Seems sad that the reflector has become a place where people guess when their K3 might be shipped. Enthusiastic reports from FTs (although enjoyed) are no substitute for knowing what is going on.
Please can we have a regular statement of realistic dates for shipping. If it's not coming until Xmas I will go back to sleep - provided it is this Xmas and the exchange rate stays as favourable to us Gs as it is today!

Seconded.
Many amateurs (including myself) who have placed orders for the K3 have held off
mailing whilst the development work, prototype and first shipments took place.

Now the product is going out the door, I don't feel that it is unreasonable to
expect fairly regular updates on the shipping status on, what is in the end a
commercial product.

Agreed, Stewart, as the 2nd production run is due to commence dispatch
from 19th November, I think it is reasonable to assume that the 1st
production run will have been cleared before then.

Thirded. I actually defended Elecraft for the initial delays, when
they provided explanations of what was going on. The lack of visible
signs of volume shipping give me cause to doubt whether the shipping
date of early November given to me by Lisa a couple of weeks ago is
still achievable. Apart from my (hopefully understandable) impatience
to get my hands on the radio, there is also a practical concern that
it might now end up being delivered when I am away. I think customers
who put their faith in Elecraft by putting down a deposit six months
ago deserve more than being kept in limbo about when they might
receive their order.

Hi Everyone,

I've had my head down working out all the fun production issues ramping
up K3 production. I planned to post a status update Monday, but have
been too busy to do so until today. Things are definitely improving.
I'll post status here and on the Elecraft list later today.
