I thought it would be out by now also!!!

Eric posted that message on August 29th.  A week from then would be August
36th, so we still have a ways to go!

BTW, have y'all seen the newest K3 Front Panel rendering in the K3 folder at
<http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3%20FP%20drawing_web.jpg>?  I noticed it
yesterday morning, but don't recall seeing a post announcing it.

Although it's not a high resolution image, it clearly shows the front panel
artwork changes mentioned by one of the beta testers (Ed Mums W0YK I think)
in the late July / early August timeframe.  If you compare this new
rendering to the available K3 photos, you'll see that it's not the same
radio.  Apparently the beta test process has yielded an improved user
interface.

Remember, good things come to those who wait.

I'd like to know what program this image was created with.

I dunno, but I would have done it in Adobe Illustrator. That's my main
graphics tool. Could have been that, or Corel Draw, or any other vector-based
graphic arts program. There's nothing super-sophisticated in there, just some
well-executed use of gradient fills. Nice work! I couldn't have done it better
myself, I don't think.  :-)

(What you see on the page, of course, is a relatively low-resolution
rasterized image of the vector artwork. The original vector artwork would be
resolution-independent, such that you could embed it in a PDF or other
Postscript-based environment and zoom into it to see the finest details.)

Not Aug 36th, but I should have said 'within a week or so' instead of
'later this week'. I thought the assembly manual copy we had internally
was ready, but Wayne decided to add some additional text to it before
releasing to the real world. :-) I'll have it posted this week.

Ah...and if folks would just cool it...you'd have less fires to put out, and by
extension more time to get the K3s out the door.
