[Elecraft] Cut off date for K3 options?

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Dave,

All basic K3's include and ship with the 5ppm reference oscillator 
standard. We only include the 1 ppm oscillator if you ordered it as an 
option. (If you want to update your order just place an order on the web 
page and note that it is a change in the comments section. Please 
reference your original order number if possible. )

The order page note is saying that for those that ordered the TCXO3-1 
reference oscillator, if it has not arrived at Elecraft when we ship, we 
will ship their K3 with the 5 ppm part and then follow it up with the 
TCXO3-1 when it arrives. This is a plug in part, so anyone can install it.

Just before we ship your order, probably about a week prior, we will 
email you to confirm your options etc. Also, we send out an automatic 
order confirmation via email when you place your order on the web site. 
For the deposit your receipt is your credit card charge. The final 
receipt for the whole order ships with the order in the box to you.

Yes, we're very busy getting everything ready to build and ship K3's. 
The logistics of getting all of the parts, pc boards, sheet metal etc in 
on time is huge! But we are working overtime to get everyone's K3 out 
the door as fast as possible. One thing to remember - It will be 
impossible for us to ship all of the K3 orders for the first run in the 
first week of shipping. There were way too many ordered. (A nice problem 
to have..)  I know everyone expects their's to ship the first day, but 
we will be getting them out the door as fast as possible! :-) Please be 
patient.

Starting this next week I will be posting regular updates on our 
progress and updating our shipping information here and on the web page.
