[Elecraft] Tech Support --- kpa1500 KUDOS

[Don Wilhelm]

Charlie,

Actually, they were swamped with support emails and phone calls 
yesterday - and have been since before Christmas.  Running with only a 
skeleton staff over the holidays has extracted a toll for the backlog.

But with the new and important firmware upgrade for the KPA1500, they 
were paying close attention to problems with that upgrade, and moving 
those to a high priority.

Right now, support is short-staffed since David became an SK.

Yes, I know for sure, I also work in support for the classic gear and 
try to answer any operating questions for the more recent gear.
So if you sent an email to support, be patient, you will get an answer.

73,
Don W3FPR
