[Elecraft] RE: Shipping status accurate?

[Dave Agsten]

It would appear that Elecraft is ahead of their posted
shipping schedule. Two posts on here indicate that K3s
ordered on the 28th and 30th of August are on the way.
The "Shipping Status" on the Elecraft website says
that through today, 3/14/08, they would be shipping
orders received up until August 23rd. That would
indicate that they may be a week or more ahead of
schedule.

As far as the Pro III goes, unless you're going to buy
both it and a K3, WAIT for your K3. I have both radios
and there's no doubt that the K3 is far superior. I
did use the Pro III to verify my K3s Ref. Oscillator
calibration as it specified at .5ppm. It seems to be
right on. The bandscope is nice for 6 and 10 meters,
but it sure isn't a deal breaker......

Another issue that has popped up on here lately
mentions the "harsh" ?? K3 audio. I know it's an
individual thing, but to me, the K3 sounds much
better. I did a lot of listening to to VP6DX and, now,
TX5C. I switched back and forth between the two radios
and, not only preferred the way the K3 sounded, but
was also able to hear them better on the K3.
