Hi Joe, We have shipped a few dozen, but some have not been received yet, and probably half were kits, which take longer to come on-line. Some of those received have already been mentioned on this forum, or on the Yahoo group (search for "K3S" in the archives). But only a small percentage of our customers participate in the forum at any given time. In addition to forum comments, the first customer to post an eHam review of the K3S created a product category for it: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/12433 There are two reviews so far, both very thoughtful (and long -- proceed with caution :) We're of course very happy to see so many positive comments. There are also a few minor negative points, typical of any product. We take these as constructive input toward future improvements. One reviewer with a very sensitive sense of touch (speculation on my part) commented that he could feel the felt pad under the VFO knob. This pad is intended to create drag, and the amount of drag is adjustable. But, haptics being in the fingers of the beholder, I emailed him to discuss hypothetical alternatives. I'm sure there will be additional postings and reviews soon. Meanwhile, we're working out a few last annoyances in our shipping procedure in hopes of shipping more quickly. We'll also have a new firmware release for the K3/K3S this week. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
