Greetings, For those of you tracking this info: Factory assembled K3 ordered 12/07/07, first Katiegram received 05/05/08. I chose to wait till the KRX3 was ready. Second Katiegram received 08/28/08, scheduled UPS delivery 09/09/08. I'm anxious to get my chance to use this radio that receives such positive reviews. 73, Bob K3UL
