[Elecraft] K4 and Delivery Delays

[Fred Jensen]

There's not a lot on the web re: KWM-380 except for sales.  I recall 
little about it except that it was very expensive for the time.  I think 
the KWM-2 went for about $1,500 new? in the 60's, that would be about 
$15,000 in today's money, although it wouldn't be an attractive 
transceiver in today' world.  But, a -380 was a pretty hot radio in 
those days.
