The post by Eric on August 4th, just said "during September" -Bruce, N1RX:

Advance notice for list readers and our loyal Elecraft customers:

We will be increasing prices slightly on the K3 and several other
products during September. If you have been undecided on when to order,
this is your chance.

Orders received before the price increase will be honored at the current
web price as of the order date.

Please don't email or call the factory requesting more details right
now. Our sales staff does not have any info on this as we are still
evaluating what will change. Watch the web order form for the final
changes during Sept.

We are seeing broad increases in component, assembly and labor costs as
competition and activity increases in the Electronics industry. Our
suppliers who held their prices constant during the recent recession
have reached their limit and are increasing pricing to their customers.
We've pushed back and absorbed many of these increases this year, and
have reduced company expenses elsewhere whenever possible, but we
finally must adjust prices a small amount to stay financially strong.

We really appreciate your support and we will keep these increases
reasonable. Our goal since 1998 is to be here for the long run by
managing our finances conservatively, and by bringing you fun to use
high value, and innovative, products. So far its working, thanks to all
of you!

73, Eric WA6HHQ

You can't really have a price increase on something that isn't for sale yet,
can you?

Hi John:

Well, the way I see it... the KX3 is a new product, and it's pricing
will be not affected by any component cost increases that affect a
mature product. The price will be related to current and anticipated
component costs, and factored into the price of the rig. A real
price has not been announced, and will not be for a while, so the K3
price increases won't have an effect on the KX3. The last we heard,
the hope was to have the base KX3 on the market for about $800.
We'll just have to wait to see if that will be the case.

Re: Price Increase

Eric,

KX3 was announced/demoed at Dayton as well as ballpark pricing - just asking
if the ballpark has gone up - and what - if so - is the new target price.

73's and Happy Labor Day Weekend,
