Synth card order status

Rick WA6NHC
I ordered two new synth cards early Monday (with an SVGA card added, I'm
tired of squinting) and quickly got the confirmation email. Having
heard/read nothing since, I called and spoke with a VERY nice woman
about the status a bit ago.

As (somewhat) expected, there is now a back order on the new cards with
a 10 (business) day delay.  Which translates to mid-March. Perhaps
sooner, perhaps not.

Not complaining, just FYI and saving Elecraft some phone calls.  :o) By
then the newest firmware will be in better shape, so it's all good.

73,
Rick wa6nhc

That's disappointing.  I ordered early Saturday afternoon at Orlando
Hamcation and was told there were plenty in stock.  Of course, I got
e-mail confirmation Monday evening (presumably after Eric got back)
and still have not received shipping info.

Very good, a potential business turnover about USD1.5 million.

Re: Synth card order status

Joe Subich, W4TV-4
In reply to this post by Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ

The only disappointment is that a Saturday afternoon order at
Hamcation went into the system after the on-line orders from
the weekend and Monday.  I should have ordered on-line before
coming to the show <G>.

I'm glad to read this, this evening (ET), so that I could send an e-mail to thesales team, asking them to augment my previous order to include a couple ofKBPF3's and a KXV3A.
I'm sure that the entire team is under a huge workload this month as a resultof the KSYN3AUPG announcement, and I just hope everything goes smoothly for them.

I would venture to think than some (like me) wanted the extra bandwidth.
So Now I can go more places, Same with my Jeep I can go more places that I could with a car.

Same why question applies to your Porsche?   A Chevy will get you to the
supermarket and back too.

No, a week ago this past Saturday - as in February 14.  My assumption
was that an order early Saturday afternoon would be in queue before
the slackers on the left coast were awake <G>.

Oh well - that just gives me an opportunity to add the audio protection
and AUX output current mods to the order.  I've been meaning to get to
them for some time.  Can't say that having the radio open for the Synth
updates isn't a good chance to do them.

Re: Synth card order status

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list
Hey George, these days in So Calif almost any car
can push our driving skills -- well maybe those
Google cars won't, but I'm not yet convinced!

Regarding your K3's and your ham skills: Can they
turn themselves on, tune themselves and send code
(or talk) by themselves, while creating witty
repartee in the process?  I'd say a K3 can augment
our ham skills, not exceed them -- until one can
walk in and pass the Extra Class exam unaided ;-)

Don't be so sure, Bob. George has already
questioned his own drive skills! :-) :-)

Re: [Elecraft_K3] Re: Synth card order status

Jim-5
In reply to this post by Joe Subich, W4TV-4
Guys,

An educated estimate was made for demand of the new synth

Just think, we would be paying more IF Elecraft did not manage inventory by exhausting the old synth stock (except for repair needs, etc.) before the new was announced.

If they ordered too many boards, inventory turns would be impacted negatively, and working capital suffers, with higher costs to them and ultimately, the end user.

It is not the end of the world as some may think it is.......
