Fear not, the KXPA100 will again be offered as will the KX3 and KX2.
If you get a response that it is not available, that means that the
in-stock supply has been exhausted.
But we will have to wait until after the lockdown in California is
lifted. It affects not only Elecraft, but also the suppliers of the
boards, enclosures, etc. Many of the ICs are offshore items and time
will tell when they will be available and shipped.
Patience during this critical period is required, although many are
getting restless.
Meanwhile, the K4 is being refined as the engineering staff is able to
work from home.
Sales and support and K3 repairs are also able to work from home, as
well as some of the production folks. It is assembly that is in a bind
- even if they can get the parts, assembly is a hands-on process that is
difficult to do in a work-from-home environment.
See the Elecraft Newsletter to be informed of what steps are being taken
in the office in preparation for reopening.
