[Elecraft] KAT500

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Bob,

I apologize for the confusion on  this. You are only 1 day later, as the 
Friday phone orders were entered after the Friday Dayton orders.  Your 
order will ship before the Saturday orders. The introduction and first 
sales of the KAT500 on Friday for Dayton attendees was the Dayton 'special'.

If Vicki said what you said below, she was mistaken. (I'd ask her, but 
Vicki is no longer with the company.) We were not planning on taking 
phone orders that Friday, but some heard about it from Dayton attendees 
and they overloaded the staff here by calling that day. To say it was a 
crazy Day for the sales team here is an understatement ;-)

Also note: HTML clipboard We are only shipping KAT500-F factory 
assembled orders for the first two weeks as we finalize the kit assembly 
manual. (As is our normal process, we use feedback from field testers 
and our in-house assembly staff to improve the assembly manual during 
that period.)

We are ramping up production as fast as is practical. Please be patient 
with us as we go through the first several weeks of ramp-up. We're all 
working hard to get these out as quickly as possible without sacrificing 
quality.

73,

Eric
