[Elecraft] KAT500 Email received

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

So what is the delay in shipping a factory built KAT500 now.   Sounds 
like they are getting caught up and I am really thinking that this is 
the right way for me to go with my K3 and SGC PowerCube AMP.

I dont necessarly feel the need to build a kit especially if they are 
caught up on pre-built units.

Happy Thanksgiving
