I did not expect my additional comments on My KAT500 posting to appear on the Reflector; thought they would be private responses to private e-mails. Live and learn. I do disagree with marketing that raises demands without an ability to meet the demand for months or years. I think instant gratification is what drives Hamfests and much of hobby-buying; new "toys" are constantly coming on the market, and I think many of us expect to buy now what is advertised now. I understand others are willing to wait and track and graph KX3 shipments etc. This also raises expectations and increases demand; nothing to do with quality or technology. It drives sales. Owning and enjoying K/1, K2, K3, P/3, W2, and the KPA500 I admit to being an Elecraft fan and await the KAT500. Nevertheless, I do object to marketing what is not readily available and not providing regular updates on the status of those products delayed for whatever reason. I know the folks at Elecraft are busy; no one is THAT busy. 73 Ron KM4VX
