[Elecraft] K144XV now shipping

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi David,

 - We're not quite shipping the K144XV yet. We have encountered several 
other new parts delays that were unexpected. A fallout of suppliers 
cutting their inventories in response to the recession is my guess. I 
don't enjoy getting blindsided like this.

I just updated the status page this morning:
---
K144 XV Status
Latest Estimate - Starts Shipping  12/9

We've just received the crystals (as of 11/23), but several other parts 
are unexpectedly late from their suppliers. We expect several of these 
early next week (due to the Thanksgiving holiday 11/26-27) and the last 
parts late next week or early the following week. We apologize for the 
delay on this!
---

I'll keep everyone updated as we get this out the door.

73, eric   WA6HHQ
