[Elecraft] K3 STATUS

[VA3TUFHAM at aol.com]

As a long-time observer of the Elecraft scene and owner of a K2, I  can't 
help but marvel at the impatience exhibited by some hams while awaiting  the 
arrival of their K3.  These are exciting times for the Elecraft  family of clients.
 
This new radio represents a giant leap in a kit radio and the effort to get  
it right the first time by Elecraft is commendable. But it takes time and 
there  can be unexpected delays, sometimes beyond Elecraft control, as has been  
explained from time to time.
 
I for one, would like to congratulate Eric, Wayne and the entire Elecraft  
gang for creating some of the best value amateur radio equipment currently  
available in today's marketplace. Moreover, I think that the level of  support and 
their willingness to listen to their "family of clients" is  exemplary.
 
If I could offer any suggestions, it would be for those who are awaiting  
their new K3, to have a little patience! I have no doubt that Elecraft is doing  
its utmost to get your K3 to you and when it arrives, I'm sure that you will 
not  be disappointed with either its quality or performance.
 
That's my two cents!
