Gee, Vic....I wonder how many of you beta folks will have to make statements to 
calm the waters?

Based on my experiences, I thought that it was perfectly fine to assist Elecraft 
with a deposit, and I'm willing to wait to get what they decide the optimal 
production piece in the first run.

I'm beginning to look at the comments like I do people that don't vote:

Don't vote, Don't complain.

And you know, I don't think I've seen any of the complainers who did order a K3
offer their place in line to any of the folks patiently wating.

Some folks appear to be more interesting in complaining than most anything else.

Perhaps if one has their panties all wadded-up, the discomfort outweighs common 
sense.
