At this point, I don’t think being concerned about when the K4 is going to arrive at our shacks so we can “play radio” is a consideration.
What we all need to do is wish Wayne and Eric well as they navigate uncharted waters.
Elecraft is a great company that makes great products from great people. It’s not a big company like the Japanese radio producers.
I suspect Wayne and Eric don’t have deep pockets and require products being shipped consistently to remain profitable.
They have a large investment in development of the K4 including all the parts ready to go into the K4, but no product to ship.
This is no picnic for them as they struggle to keep Elecraft going.
I am sure all of us who have prepaid various amounts for a K4 have created a pool of money that hopefully will help. Let’s just hope that there are enough of us retired “old farts” who will be able to weather the financial storm and not request a refund of deposits as I am sure will happen with working hams who have lost their jobs.
I, for one, send my best wishes to Eric and Wayne and all the great Elecraft Team. When my K4 arrives is immaterial.
73,
Terry, N7TB
