[Elecraft] Elecraft price increases in September

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Advance notice for list readers and our loyal Elecraft customers:

We will be increasing prices slightly on the K3 and several other 
products during September. If you have been undecided on when to order, 
this is your chance.

Orders received before the price increase will be honored at the current 
web price as of the order date.

Please don't email or call the factory requesting more details right 
now. Our sales staff does not have any info on this as we are still 
evaluating what will change. Watch the web order form for the final 
changes during Sept.

We are seeing broad increases in component, assembly and labor costs as 
competition and activity increases in the Electronics industry. Our 
suppliers who held their prices constant during the recent recession 
have reached their limit and are increasing pricing to their customers. 
We've pushed back and absorbed many of these increases this year, and 
have reduced company expenses elsewhere whenever possible, but we 
finally must adjust prices a small amount to stay financially strong.

We really appreciate your support and we will keep these increases 
reasonable. Our goal since 1998 is to be here for the long run by 
managing our finances conservatively, and by bringing you fun to use 
high value, and innovative, products. So far its working, thanks to all 
of you!

73, Eric WA6HHQ
