Hi All, The trouble with making proposed product announcements is that some of us then become incensed when the schedule is not met. Before becoming an Elecraft user, TenTec was my stable and they had made some loose commitments at hamfests and to a lesser degree on the reflector which when not delivered caused outrage by a number of people.
For me it is nice that Elecraft indicates what is in the pipeline and when possible dates they may be considering but these must be taken with a large amount of tolerance. The people working on the KAT500 are perhaps not the people working on the P3SVGA monitor. None of us can push our pet to the front of the queue. I too suffer from impatience and have a P3SVGA on order but it will be better to have bugs ironed out before delivery. We have a very responsive group in Elecraft. This forum remains interesting and my observations mean little. No offence is meant. Jack your questions are good. 73 Doug EI2CN -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of W0UCE Sent: 06 March 2012 01:09 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Product Information Wayne & Eric: While many customers anxiously await KX3 product release there are also many Elecraft customers like myself that EAGERLY await KAT 500 product information such as specs, features, functions, anticipated first KAT500 assembled and kit shipping dates. Will there be a pre-release order list as with the KX3 etc. Please, please let anxious "Customers" in on the secrets such as KAT 500: * Product drawings that were promised weeks ago * Product functions, features and specifications * Product physical dimensions * Will there be a pre-release order sign up list? * When will Elecraft begin accepting orders? * When does Elecraft expect to commence shipping kits and assembled units? * Pricing information, even if preliminary Any and all information Elecraft would be so very kind to release will be greatly appreciated.
