[Elecraft] Re: LP-100

[Larry Phipps]

I know you didn't mean to send that message to the list, Joe, but I 
think I should respond to the list just so anyone who is waiting for 
delivery will have the latest info.

It took 4-5 months from first orders to delivery for the first run of 
LP-100s. For the vast majority of custoemrs, this run will take about 2 
months from order to delivery. I plan to have running stock on LP-100s 
starting with the third run, which I plan to order parts for next week. 
This will enable me to fill holiday orders in a timely fashion.

A new venture has ramp up issues in terms of building inventory, 
perfecting processes for kitting and assembly, updating manuals, etc. I 
also had to deal with the conversion to RoHS compliance, even though I 
started that process even with the first run. Since the response to the 
LP-100 has been phenomenal... that has added to the ramp up times. I 
have also been busy updating the firmware to add features for the second 
run (yes, any LP-100 can be upgraded at little or no cost to the latest 
version).

I have virtually all the parts now for this run except the enclosures, 
which should be here Monday or Tuesday, and should allow me to start 
shipping kits at the end of next week.
