Lisa will send you an email acknowledging you order.
I am surprised you haven't received it already. --- "Jerry Keller (K3BZ)" <[hidden email]> wrote: > What sort of acknowledgement can I expect for my K3 > order placed last > Sunday? > 73, Jerry K3BZ > > _______________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Post to: [hidden email] > You must be a subscriber to post to the list. > Subscriber Info (Addr.

I imagine they have so many new orders that mine is just one of the bunch.
They'll probably get around to it in time... I was just wondering if they acknowledge them by individual email, or maybe I had to go to some website page and look up the status. I've heard something about a status page where you can check... is that true? 73, Jerry K3BZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "WILLIS COOKE" <[hidden email]> To: "Jerry Keller (K3BZ)" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 10:33 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New Orders > Lisa will send you an email acknowledging you order. > I am surprised you haven't received it already. > > --- "Jerry Keller (K3BZ)" <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> What sort of acknowledgement can I expect for my K3 >> order placed last >> Sunday? >> 73, Jerry K3BZ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Elecraft mailing list >> Post to: [hidden email] >> You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >> Subscriber Info (Addr.

You should receive an email acknowledging your order. (At least I
received one for my order.) The status page you have heard of is probably the now famous (or infamous?) shipping status page: <http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_shipping_status.htm> It will give you an idea how many months you have to wait to get your own K3. You will quickly see that it says, "New K3 orders are now targeted for May delivery". Keep in mind that that is just an estimate. While the Elecraft guys are great at designing radios, and great at customer support, they have had some problems recently with forecasting the future. You can get an idea about some the problems by noting the comment on the KFL3B-FM filter, and Wayne's note on the delay of the KRX3.

I will point out once again that Elecraft have improved their shipping
rate vs. orders invoiced, by orders of magnitude during the last several months. If you are in a similar industry and/or understand small companies, you may actually appreciate this and the difficulties they have gone through. If not, too bad for you. Everybody wins now. This is a good thing. :) Live long and DX! This may well be the best radio you've ever been the owner/operator of! I'm not affiliated with Elecraft, just a fan. 73, matt zilmer W6NIA K3 # 24, K2 # 2810 On Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:51:29 -0600, you wrote: >You should receive an email acknowledging your order.

The thing people forget is that YaeComWood, TenTec, etc have much deeper
pockets and more resources. Borrowing a few million for them is no big deal, but a substantial risk for a company of Elecraft's size. If a product does not do well, there is less impact on the bottom line. The other companies also have many more models to spread the pain over, as well as other divisions that can contribute resources to development. You don't generally hear about a product too much until it is ready to launch, and units are already built and often on the way to dealers. You also get them with all the warts that were deemed not worth fixing right away, as the early adopters can beta test. (Just a generalization, not aimed at any specific company) Sure there have been manufacturing problems, etc. Since they don't own the plant, but have to contract it out, a lot of control is lost. Elecraft's high standards are not easy to meet, causing further delays. If I had the money in May or any time after, I would have gladly paid a deposit and waited. (I know, easy for me to say) I seriously considered liquidating my equipment to do that very thing, but did not. In hind sight, I should have, since I have been too busy to do any serious operating anyway. I would now have a K3...

Why all this again? Jerry just wanted to be sure that
his order was properly placed to get into the Que. --- Mike Short <[hidden email]> wrote: > The thing people forget is that YaeComWood, TenTec, > etc have much deeper > pockets and more resources.
