[Elecraft] K4 Delivery delay

[Sam Sargent]

I readthe Elecraft (EC) Digest regularly and find many articles interesting, and someuseful.  The topic“K4 and Delivery Delays” has appeared recently but I didn’t see anyone ask thequestions that are in my mind.  I placedmy order for a K4D in December 2021 and paid the $1500 deposit.  I received an email acknowledgment from ECsaying that my order is part of the group 3. The EC web site indicates that all orders for K4s in group 1 and Group 2have been shipped, and that hams who are in Group 3 have received emails.  IMHO EC should provide more information tohams who have ordered K4s, especially those of us who have invested theoptional $1500. I believe that the ESD for the H4D that I ordered was lastprojected as June or July 2022.  In thisday of digital communication, it does not seem like too much to ask that ECprovide hams who have ponied up the $1500, receive regular (monthly) updatesthat show how many orders are in the que ahead of theirs, and an updatedEstimated Delivery date, and final cost.  I look forward to a thoughtful answer to myquestions. N1OVA
