[Elecraft] K4 Kit

[Don Wilhelm]

Ted,

The kit assembly manual information will be gleaned from the experience 
gained from the build of the first production models.
That was true for the K3 and KX3 - yes it is unlike the experience with 
the K2, K1 and KX1 which were not available as factory asssembled (kit 
only), but they held a Field Test with a number of builders which 
resulted in many changes to the assembly manual.  That is not the same 
as the situation today.
The kit version will available only after a substantial number of 
factory assembled units have shipped.  My wild guess it will be 2 to 3 
months later than the ship of the first factory assembled units.

73,

The deposit options are therefore apparently for the factory-built versions.  What’s the solution for the tension between “I want one now” and “I want to build the kit”?  Just go to sleep and wait?
