[Elecraft] Where are the K4 reviews?

[Steve KC6ZKT]

In my day job, working for a supplier of technology to a wide swath of 
consumer electronics manufacturers, I've observed over the past year 
major shifts in demand and the kinds of products people are buying. 
There have been surges in demand for some categories of products, and 
collapses in demand for other categories; all of which foil production 
and distribution plans which are normally designed to play-out of 18-36 
months. There have been supply chain disruptions. There have been 
shipping and logistics disruptions. The disruptions go deep into almost 
every component and service you can imagine.

Elecraft, or any small company building a niche product, who manages to 
stay solvent throughout all of this disruption is to be admired, even if 
their plans need to change radically.

As for the perceived lack of communication: I can also understand their 
reluctance to say much when they have their own uncertainty about the 
future.

About me: I'm happy to wait to order a K4 until they offer the kit. For 
me, it's a hobby, not my livelihood.
