K3 - KRX3 shipping question

[Bruce Meier-2]

Yes, just call me impatient.  Now that my K3s have been built and on the air
for several weeks I am anxious to take them apart to install the KRX3s.   I
have seen several "mine is shipping" emails, but what would be nice to see
is specific info like is listed for the K3s.  

Example - We are shipping "X' qty / week.   The backlog is "Y".   Something
that would give those of us that don't have K3s in the low three digit
serial numbers some idea when our next package might arrive.   Is this
possible and reasonable??

If I have missed such a notification, I apologize.

Anxious in North Carolina,

Bruce, I phoned and spoke with Katie last week to as about the
availability of the KXV3 and also asked about the 2nd receiver. Well the
good news is the KXV3 is more or less available from stock... The bad
news is the KRX3 takes around 4 months to deliver. My KXV3 shipped last
week, but I'm going to sit it out for a while longer on the 2nd
receiver. I am looking to try a hybrid coupler between the RX in/out
sockets on the KXV3 to feed an external receiver (marginally less loss
than a resistive splitter, being external I can easily try both to see
the difference), I might even look at how practical it is to add a
buffer amplifier in the K3 to bring out an unattenuated signal but I
don't want to compromise the K3 performance in doing so. I will be more
than happy to leave the external receiver on one frequency and tune
around with the K3, if that external RX's QRG is stored in the K3's
alternative VFO or one of the quick memories, I can quickly transmit on
the external RX frequency. Muting the external receiver is not hard either.

I've already done the above (with an internal buffer amp) on my K2, so
it will be interesting to see how it turns out on the K3.

I saw a post last week that someone who ordered on May 7, 2007 received their KRX3 notice. I guess that means it would be shipping in 1 to 2 weeks. I ordered my KRX3 with my original order on May 25, 2007 which equated to K3 #414. I have not yet received my notice.

I would imagine that those with higher serial numbers have a few months to wait yet.

I agree, a shipping status on the KRX3 by either order date or serial number would be nice.

73,
Dave N8AG

I wouldn't worry about it, Dave, if I were you. I ordered my KRX3 for K3
#00186 on 3 May 2007. I received an e-mail from Katie on 22 July to say
my KRX3 would be shipped in 1-2 weeks. Despite my credit card being
charge on 25 July, I am yet to receive the shipping notice to say it's
been sent.

It's a matter of just being patient, I'm afraid.
