[Elecraft] K4???

[Nr4c]

Historically, they spend couple weeks to a month to get the steps worked out on their production line. Then finalize the assembly manual. So usually the kits are about 4 to 6 weeks after factory built. YMMV!

Good to see that you and the crew is being pro-active and getting the work environment all ready to be utilized in an post Covid-19 efficient manner. I hope that everyone at Elecraft is doing well through these trying times. One question though, will the HD option be ready at the time the first group starts to ship, I have ordered and paid for a K4D, but thinking I might upgrade to the HD version.
