KAT500 Kit Deliveries Yet ?
Locked
 
|
Anyone know if the KAT500 Kits are being delivered yet. I placed a phone order for a KAT500 kit on that day when it was leaked that phone orders were being unofficially taken.

I called to add to my kit order and when I asked the same thing, I was told
that it would be another couple weeks. I place the original order by phone during the Dayton event (18 May). I was also told that the Dayton crowd comes first, THEN the phone/online orders would be shipped. 73, Rick wa6nhc -----Original Message----- From: Phil Hystad Anyone know if the KAT500 Kits are being delivered yet.

Well I figure it's now about a year overdue now since it was originally
announced for last Nov for expected release. I'm not worried but I'm trying to be patient to really put the KPA500 to proper use on the better (but tuner required) antenna. And I'm not worried because I know that since it being released, it's 'right' now, which is the minimum standard for Elecraft. Their products are worth the wait. [I don't drink Kool Aid but I DO support those that produce results.] Besides, I'm not a contester, but they are useful for bringing out more DX to add to the log.

I agree and I'm in the same boat with RF Concepts Alpha Amp's and their new tuner the 4040 that was to be released last year. But finally is in the final stages with the second round of betas in the field. They only required a $1 deposit for a pre-order to get an initial order run but I paid for mine in full, no regrets and they are very close now to shipping. They found many problems along the way also and like Elecraft a small company with quality products and ham owned. But when building an amp that will handle 4k components and failures play a big part and they had to custom make a lot of them. But all in all I would rather deal with companies like Elecraft, Alpha and others who take pride in their products/quality and strive for improvements. I have other equipment like many others but have settled on my HF/6m rigs as the K3's over my FTDX-5000MP and not for reasons some might guess. I am just waiting for the KAT500's to finally be shipping in a day or 2 after you order 8-) 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Rick Bates Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 9:42 PM To: 'Joe K2UF'; '[hidden email] List' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Kit Deliveries Yet ?
