[Elecraft] KRX-3

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi John,

That is inaccurate. We are working to ship by order date independently 
for the kit and built versions.

As per our shipping status page:

---
We are now starting to ship against our backlog of KRX3s. We will 
contact you for confirmation 1-2 weeks prior to shipment.

We are now working through the backlog of K3 orders held for shipment 
until the KRX3 was released, and backlogged KRX3s for K3s in the field.

We are shipping in two parallel groups: kit and built K3s. Since -F 
built K3s are built to order, and because the kit and built versions are 
built on different production lines, the s/n sequences will not be 
exactly in sequence between the two groups getting KRX3s.
---

There are a lot more KRX3's backlogged for the kit version than for the 
-F built version, since the initial orders strongly favored kits. We are 
working through both of these groups in parallel (with different 
production people) and as a result the -F serial numbers will appear to 
jump forward faster than the kit versions.

Were running as fast as we can. It will take 5-6 weeks to ship all of 
the current KRX3 backlog. There are a -lot- of them. Its possible a few 
people may have been notified out of order in the initial rush, but I 
think I've got that straightened out.

73, Eric  WA6HHQ
