[Elecraft] KPA1500 Amplifiers are now shipping from Stock

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Yes, I totally understand.

 

If I went to the Elecraft site today and wanted to order an MH3, it's on
backorder.  I get it. I would not be allowed to order it.

 

You may be missing the point.  Some of us have ordered and already paid for
the KX2-shack-in-a-box which *INCLUDES* an MH3 microphone.

 

In my case, in a month or so it'll be about 1 year since I've paid for this.

 

I am not sure if I could've/would've not ordered the Kit or not if they had
told me it would not ship complete, but it would've been nice to be given
that option. As it was, it showed up incomplete.

 

Seems like a small complaint, I know, but I've rec'd a number of private
emails already from folks in similar situations, some not as lucky as myself
(I own multiple radios).

 

I've found in my life, usually "honesty is the best policy" and especially
being a ham I believe "communication is key" (in life, business, etc.)

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone ! (VE Thanksgiving this weekend)

I tried to order an MH3. I was told they are waiting for some parts for a
new model of it.

That's great that you're selling these expensive amps, rigs and whatnot and
keeping yourselves going, but how about updates on stuff we've paid for an
not fully rec'd?



Before last Xmas I ordered a KX2 shack-in-a-box kit and rec'd it a couple
months later(no complaints- I knew there was a small backorder), but there
was no MH3 microphone included.

(nor was it indicated on the paperwork that Elecraft even knew it was
missing)

I had to complain via several channels and then subsequent emails to Wayne
told me I'd receive it at some point.



Soon it'll be 1 year since I placed my order and still no mic. (and zero
updates)



Yes, it's very small potatoes and yes, I am a big fan of Elecraft equipment
owning a multitude of your transceivers (K1, KX2, KX3 and two K3's), all in
the shack here but when I see messages about K4's and KPA1500's and not even
a single update to my private email (or publicly) about my microphone it
just is upsetting.  Like myself and others got lost in the dust but 'Hey,
spend your hard earned dollars on these big ticket items y'all"



I hope that makes sense.



Sometimes it's the little things fellas.
