[Elecraft] Elecraft Service: we hear you

[len at ka7ftp.com]

Rob,

	I feel your pain.  I do EE work for a car manufacture.   Aluminum and stainless steel are near impossible to get.  Microcontrollers and other semis are not in stock and currently show 52 weeks lead time.  When you can get metal and chips you pay a dear premium.  It has been that way since nearly the beginning of the pandemic.  Most people don't understand that we are experiencing a full out trade war.  I have no idea when this all will end, but at this point it is a very bleak situation.  I really hope Elecraft can survive the supply chain war.  I am witnessing the same situation every day.

OK, Steve

When is the last time you tried to send in a unit for service.  I am #5 and have been since January.

Saying you support the K3 and actually doing it are two different things.
