KX3 shipping / Notification Status Updated

[Edward R Cole]

My Order Confirmation 2208-4482-7710 (ordered on 10:46pm 12/27/11)

KX3 shipping status (kits):  12/28/11 , order #2208-4223-4678

4482-4223 = 259 kit to go until mine is shipped  - what's that about a month?
or is that 7710-4678 = 3032 kits to ship before mine?

I think maybe next time I will buy a six month CD and wait to place my order.

Ed,
The order numbers do not indicate (directly) The number of KX3's (or other
Elecraft products ordered) It is a sequential number issued by an outside
order processing company that provides this service to several companies,
including Elecraft. What we -ccan- do is determine the actual time of your
order, and compare that time to pre-shipment confirmations that have been
received. Here's how:

Take the first 8 digits of your order confirmation number and remove the
dash: 22084482 and multiply by 60 (seconds)= 1325068920. Take that number
and plug it into the Epoch calculator at http://www.epochconverter.com/.

The result is that your order was accepted at Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:42:00 UTC.

My kit order was accepted at Wed, 28 Dec 2011 06:51:00 UTC. (3hrs 51min
before you)

I received my pre shipment notice last night, showing shipment between 6/14
and 6/22. Based on the speed with which kit orders have ramped up, and the
rate at which the shipment notices are now going out, I would estimate that
you will receive your pre-shipment confirmation email within the next 1-2
weeks. You -must- reply to that message to tell them your order is correct.
Then they will schedule your shipment.

I hope this helps,
Bruce, N1RX

Never dawned on me how the process would actually work. It was several
hours after the "window opened" that I realized Elecraft was accepting
orders for the KX3. Amazing how many orders were placed in such a short
period of time.

On the negative side - I was disappointed when I heard the 100W amp for the
KX3 probably wouldn't be available until maybe the end of 2012.

On the plus side - it's now the middle of June and still waiting on my KX3
kit - so the wait for the amp (after receiving the KX3) won't be as long as
I thought. (Great spin, huh? Maybe I should become a politician!)

Friends and family think I've always been good with numbers. But I don't
think I would ever have figured out how those order numbers convert to
date/time - that was pretty impressive.
