"Group 1, done by May" ?? Would be nice. I am not going to hold my
breath. The few (2?), "I got a UPS package", were from orders entered
the first day. Group 1 was not closed until Jan 2020??
"I Think" some of the communications from Elecraft are "hung up" with
the Ferengi print from the online event keeping Elecraft from
re-publishing any of the online event communication until the end of the
30 day "hold". If I was running the online event, I would want
exclusive "use" of any publications for the full 30 days. So, 16? Apr...
Yes, I could pay my $10 and see all the doc. I was unavailable during
the actual event, so I didn't sign up at all.
The last I looked, the KX3 is back ordered, too.
I would not mind an additional 6 month delay, IF I was told it was
because Elecraft was moving to TN so that they could save 10% over
current cost/taxes in CA. I don't expect a move to happen. So, 60 days
till the end of May, can they do it?
I placed my Group 1 order a week or so before Thanksgiving 2019...

Almost at point of needing to cancel and ask money be returned so I can get
something else and keep operating. Seeing nothing, hearing nothing (not even
from anyone receiving a K-4 - assuming some are shipping). Latter I don’t
understand how anyone would allow themselves to be bound in secrecy. If
occurring must be significant benefit for observing code of silence. I see no
light at all inside the tunnel.

I can’t imagine how it would feel to know that I had laid out $4k two years
ago, and still be waiting for fulfillment. NO, actually I can.
Several years ago, an up-and-coming system integration business I had been
associated with for several years (as a VAR) was going thru many of the same
types of growing pains in bringing a wonderful new product to market. The CEO
vowed he would run the business as if they were broke, which they very nearly
were. But the employees were faithful believers in the company and the
product, and worked very hard to make it a success.
Early one Monday morning, I had a call from that CEO advising me that they had sold
the company to another industry player (a non-competitor) and that they wanted me
to join them for lunch to discuss the deal. My fear and trepidation slowly
disappeared that day as I met the new management “team” (with all the old R&D
team still hard at work), got viable answers to all the hard questions and quickly
recognized how an immediate cash infusion ($10 Million) had an amazing ability to
totally turn things around, grease the wheels, and create an industry shakeup that
precipitated a wave of further consolidation and rapid development.
It was a win-win situation born out of the impending potential disaster we had
all feared.
Hang in there. Times might seem tough, but there are some very smart people at
work here.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft-K4] Where are the K4 reviews?
The natives are getting restless and it would be good to hear something
official from Elecraft. It's been too long since we've heard much of anything.
I would like to know if I can expect my Group 1 order, submitted on August 8,
2019, has any chance of getting to me before summer, 2021 begins or is it
likely that I will have to wait another year. I could have asked much the same
question a year ago never expecting that a year from then, there would still be
no K4 sitting on my table by now. By the way, when I submitted my order the
expected shipping date was estimated to be November or December, 2019. That's
pre-pandemic.
