KAT500 Email received

Jim AB3CV
Just received my "shipping soon" email for my KAT500-F. I ordered October
8, 2012 so they must be pretty close to caught up on factory built backlog.

That's interesting.  I have a confirmed order dated 18 May 12 for a kit and
haven't received any notice yet.

I know it's still there because I added more to the order a couple weeks
ago.

Hmmm ... I'm envious. I ordered my factory version back on May 26, 8 days
after Dayton. No e-mail yet.

Yes.  And his (shipped) KAT500-F was ordered a few weeks ago and my kit order is over six months ago.  Quite a difference in time since ordering.

As I said, interesting.  No matter as I'm sure mine will be shipped soon.

Re: KAT500 Email received

Right, I get it. Kits weren't finalized until a week ago as per Eric. Instructions, beta testers, etc. all had to be in place. I'd rather have the kit and wait...that way I get to know more about what I bought.

Re: KAT500 Email received

N0AZZ
I guess I would rather have an "F" unit that way I know it will be perfect
when I place it inline instead of a "error" due to a mistake that I made
somewhere. Besides I need the tuner "Right NOW"!!

Re: KAT500 Email received

In reply to this post by Jim AB3CV
So what is the delay in shipping a factory built KAT500 now.   Sounds
like they are getting caught up and I am really thinking that this is
the right way for me to go with my K3 and SGC PowerCube AMP.

I dont necessarly feel the need to build a kit especially if they are
caught up on pre-built units.

Happy Thanksgiving
