[Elecraft] Latest rumors on K4

[Gary Smith]

I truly get the idea of wanting to know 
when something new like the K4 is being 
brought out, I'd like to know too. 

I always hesitate to ask because I it is 
probably impossible for anyone in 
management to make a statement other than 
"predicted". I'm sure they have no idea in 
any specific date; the testers have to 
present their findings, then the company 
has to find out if there are hard/software 
issues, or if the tester misunderstood 
something. If there is a problem then that 
has to be resolved before shipping. 

If the instructions were misunderstood 
then they have to find out if it is the 
instructions that are needing correction, 
or if the manual was clear but 
misunderstood. 

There's more factors but until they feel 
secure that they have a product that will 
bring praise from reviewers and the 
public, there really can't be a release 
date that is in stone.

Yeah, we all already know all this, and we 
all want the finished product ASAP (I paid 
for mine long back), but I'll keep using 
my K3s & P3 till the K4D comes out. 

Odd, I don't like waiting, but I don't 
mind waiting either. One of those 
oxymoron's of life... :)

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy 
Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus... whatever you 
celebrate at this time of year, Cheers to 
you and those you love.
