Hello, Elecraft's shipping estimates are not accurate. I had ordered a K3 from them in August of last year with 50% deposit. I waited no word, I waited , no word. I then called them in late December and was told, sometime after February of next year. I then pulled my K3 order and asked for my

Thanks to everyone who responded. Lots of great advice. It's very encouraging to hear that the K3 is well worth waiting for. I'm actually considering picking up a lower priced QRP rig such as the FT-817ND ($600), and using that in the interim. Hopefully I'll be able to get most of my money
