Guys, An educated estimate was made for demand of the new synth
Just think, we would be paying more IF Elecraft did not manage inventory by exhausting the old synth stock (except for repair needs, etc.) before the new was announced. If they ordered too many boards, inventory turns would be impacted negatively, and working capital suffers, with higher costs to them and ultimately, the end user. It is not the end of the world as some may think it is.......
