[Elecraft] I am so over the KX3 list for shipping

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I have no issues being 1st in line with Elecraft.  Sure they might have 
an issue here or there but they stand behind their products.  I had an 
early FT-DX9000 and I couldn't give it back to them fast enough.  They 
even screwed me on the shipping.  Everyone of the 9000's had to go back 
to Yaesu to get "FIXED".   Elecraft will just send parts, boards etc.

By the way someone has to find the issues and that is not always the 
beta testers.

I have two K3's, P3, KPA-500 and the KAT-500 on order.

Elecraft does not ship products that are not ready and are not pressured 
to ship prior to having all the bugs worked out.
