[Elecraft] K3 kit problem

[Brett Howard]

My K3 also arrived last Monday and they stated that mine had arrived and
that there were a few in the queue in front of it.  When I called on
Friday they'd stated that mine was on the bench but hadn't gotten worked
on yet.  They expect that it should ship out early this coming week.  I
was told that Elecraft shoots for a 1 week turnaround but sometimes
things get backed up and it can take up to 2 weeks.  Being that one of
their repair technicians is on vacation I think that Elecraft has been
doing VERY admirably keeping up and keeping us on the air as quickly as
they can.

Hopefully this status update provides you with some sense of security
that Elecraft is doing their best to take care of you.
