[Elecraft] K4???

[David Gilbert]

All of that is true, except that it doesn't take somebody like Wayne or 
Eric or any of their engineers to draft a weekly status report to those 
who have put down a deposit.  Anybody who speaks with them regularly 
could do it.  I haven't ordered a K4 and don't know if I ever will, but 
I'd be pretty upset to have put down that much money for ANY item with 
this little regular feedback on its shipping status since I can't think 
of a good excuse for it.  From what I've seen, just about every status 
email from Elecraft has talked about K4 feature issues instead of when 
it might actually be delivered ... so no, I don't think that's being 
very transparent.  A year is a very long time to have your money tied 
up, and along with that comes some measure of responsibility to account 
for it.

Last I heard the K4 was to have been shipping by now, BUT that's kind of hard to do when one’s county and state have shut down one's manufacturing plant due to coronavirus. IMHO a bit beyond Eric & Wayne’s control at this point…
