[Elecraft] KPA500 Kits

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

I was sent an email after my last inquiry that kits would be shipping 
last week.  They didn't say they were just going out to field testers 
though.

I also don't mind waiting for them to make sure everything is right.  A 
bit more communication in the way of shipping updates would be helpful.

It could be a supplier issue or correcting the manual or just being overwhelmed with orders.  No problem at all, like I said, I waited 5 months for the K3.  It's not the delay, it's not the not knowing that I mind.
