I have no issues being 1st in line with Elecraft. Sure they might have an issue here or there but they stand behind their products. I had an early FT-DX9000 and I couldn't give it back to them fast enough. They even screwed me on the shipping. Everyone of the 9000's had to go back to Yaesu to get "FIXED". Elecraft will just send parts, boards etc.
By the way someone has to find the issues and that is not always the beta testers. I have two K3's, P3, KPA-500 and the KAT-500 on order. Elecraft does not ship products that are not ready and are not pressured to ship prior to having all the bugs worked out.
