KX3 shipping pace

[Dennis L. Haarsager]

Judging from reported serial numbers, the KX3's are anything but flying off
the production line. Shipping status hasn't been updated since the 12th. I
understand that there is a plan to pick up the pace, but as someone who
ordered a whole two days after orders began, the current pace translates to
this being a Christmas present when it finally arrives.

So, for you lucky folks who got yours already, how about holding off on
stories about how neat this radio is. You're torturing us. ;-)

73,
Dennis, N7DH/4

Dennis,

Elecraft is a small company, and although they have been slowly adding
people for several years as needed to support their growth, it takes
time to work out the many details of putting a new product into
production, and to building them more quickly and efficiently.  A little
bird told me that while KX3s are still not "roaring" off the line,  
things are coming along nicely.

Relax, take a deep breath, and chill.  Our KX3s will arrive when they're
ready.

73, Jim K9YC

Completely off-topic, but do you know how long I waited for an IC2AT? A
synthesized handheld! For less than $300!

I was in high school then. Waiting was torture.
