KXPA100 Shipping Status

[Irwin KD3TB]

Has Elecraft started to ship the new KXPA100's.  We normally hear comments
on the reflector from those who have received the first ones.  It's been
very silent?

 

I placed my order within a few hours of the announcement for orders and have
not heard anything.

 

Thanks, Irwin - KD3TB

Hi Irwin,

Yes, we're now shipping the KXPA100/KXAT100s. As usual for a new product, we're proceeding with caution so that any issues that come up with firmware or documentation can be dealt with ahead of the bulk of shipments. We made a few firmware and doc tweaks last week and make a couple this week as well.

73,

There have several of us that have reported receipts of KXPA100s on the yahoo KX3 web site.  Mine was shipped on Nov 25, serial number 0043 to go with my KX3 serial number 0143.  it was an assembled unit with ATU.
I have enjoyed using it while restricted in ability to move much because of foot surgery on Nov 26.  I will report more as I get a chance to move to my shack and set things up properly.  But, it was easy to connect to the KX3 to operate from a reclined Lazy Boy thru a 50 foot cable to the antenna connection in the "shack."  Everything could be controlled from the KX3 controls.
The XYL thinks (knows?) that I am crazy but was able to do most of the leg work to allow me to put both units on an end table with the power supply under the end table and laptop on my lap.  The supplied optional cable set provided all of the cables I needed to get on the air almost immediately.  (The laptop was needed so that I could update the firmware in the KX3, among other things.)
