K3 shipping in 10 days...well, yes and no ???

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Dear anxious K3 invoicees....

The following is my opinion based on nothing more than my own logic
after reading the words published.

Don't think that the flood gates will open up on Aug 31and that all of
those "first run" K3's will hit the road.

Read what it says:

[snip]
1st Production Run K3 shipments are currently targeted to begin August
31.  Sold out.

2nd Production Run K3 shipments are scheduled to begin early October. Sold out.

New K3 orders received will be scheduled for shipment beginning in November.
[end snip]

As I read this, the first run radios will (may) BEGIN to ship Aug 31
but will likely continue to ship through "early October" when prod run
#2 will BEGIN.

Run #2 will BEGIN early Oct and likely continue through early
November, when the 3rd prod run will BEGIN to ship.

However, I am more than happy to be proven wrong, if the actual
results are more favorable!  :-)

But I sure would like to see the FULL SPECs (ala ARRL Prod Review) for
the RX ASAP!

I'm doubting if any will ship then. The manual isn't up on the website
yet, which suggests things still haven't been finalized.

OTOH, Eric heading off to Japan could be seen as a sign that things are
on or ahead of schedule for the end of August.

I don' wan' it before it's finished...

I keep looking for a box on the front step when
I come home from work.

I figure there will be another delay most likely
though, as a watched pot never boils...

Not much info has come out lately, like detailed test results,
the variable filter info, the manual, etc.

I need some sort of K3 fix.

I bet it's a LONG flight to Japan!

Hi Doug,

We added more a detailed technical specifications link to the K3 info
page several weeks ago.
