[Elecraft] Reminder: KX3 Tracking sheet - Deliveries this week

[Edward R. Cole]

Steve,

Many of us waiting delivery.  I checked the shipping status page and read this:
"As of 4/12:  Now shipping orders from Dec. 27,  2011."
and
"Assembled and Kit KX3s are built on parallel production lines. 
Orders for each type will be shipped in the same order they are 
received. Built KX3s will be the first units we ship as we finalize 
the kit assembly manual."

presumably the assembly manual is finished (or nearly so?), so kits 
would be shipped.  I am waiting for a kit as well.  But would not 
blame Elecraft for clearing their assembled backlog first as those 
folks paid $100 more for their radios.  I would guess that is not 
Elecraft's sales philosophy but no one could fault them if it were.

I am doubly anxious as I am anticipating the KX3-2M beta testing to 
begin fairly soon.
Anyone interested my recent activity building a Downeast MW 432 Transverter:

I looked at that spreadsheet and it appears that only the assembled versions
are being shipped. I would have thought some kits would have gone out by
now. It isn't looking good for having the KX3 for Hamvention and my summer
vacation.
