[Elecraft] K4 Delivery delay

[George Danner]

Sam,
I was at the end of group 2. According to the
https://groups.io/g/CreativeK4ShippingStatus/topics Elecraft has delivered
about 100 units since mine in January.
I waited just over a year for my K4.
Having bought a K3 over 10 years ago, I have always been impressed by the
service from them. Both by how the owners pipe in on the email reflector
and service will spend the time on the phone to troubleshoot when the
problem ended up being me!
Personally - I was happy that Elecraft used their limited resources to
deliver K4s rather than spending time making us feel better about waiting.
Believe me - you will forget the time waiting and be happy with the K4.
Join the io group to see where you stand if that is important to you - join
the CreativeK4ShippingStatus group.
