[Elecraft] K4 in production

[Dave Cole]

Lets see, solved pre COVID, then COVID arrives, and messes up all 
existing scheduling...  No surprise here...

I doubt Elecraft has initiated a "string-along" process...  All good 
things take time...  In the middle of all this COVID crap, I am 
surprised Elecraft can do repair and return...

73, and thanks,
