Steve, Many of us waiting delivery. I checked the shipping status page and read this: "As of 4/12: Now shipping orders from Dec. 27, 2011." and "Assembled and Kit KX3s are built on parallel production lines. Orders for each type will be shipped in the same order they are received. Built KX3s will be the first units we ship as we finalize the kit assembly manual."
presumably the assembly manual is finished (or nearly so?), so kits would be shipped. I am waiting for a kit as well. But would not blame Elecraft for clearing their assembled backlog first as those folks paid $100 more for their radios. I would guess that is not Elecraft's sales philosophy but no one could fault them if it were. I am doubly anxious as I am anticipating the KX3-2M beta testing to begin fairly soon. Anyone interested my recent activity building a Downeast MW 432 Transverter: http://www.kl7uw.com/DEMI-KIT-ASSY.htm -------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 04:02:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Steve KC8QVO <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Reminder: KX3 Tracking sheet - Deliveries this week To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I looked at that spreadsheet and it appears that only the assembled versions are being shipped. I would have thought some kits would have gone out by now. It isn't looking good for having the KX3 for Hamvention and my summer vacation.
