The parts delay is really a good thing. The test units will provide lots of opportunity for more bugs to be worked out. I know, I have purchased lots of "stuff" with bugs as the process has been let's get it launched and straighten out the errors as we go. The delay, caused by parts, is a huge benefit. I expect the eventual roll out will be closer to done. What other company has been so up front? Go Elecraft.

It’s not unusual. Same happened with the KX3—production/shipping delays—and, I gather, same happened with the K3 as well. I don’t recall if the same delays happened with the KX1 or not. But it’s one of those nature of the beast things. I ordered my KX3 just a day or so after the announcement of the preorder window came up, and the scheduled beginning of production slipped. I think it slipped a couple times. Finally got it about a week before Field Day, and it was a sub-500 serial number. Was it worth the extra wait? Absolutely, without question it was. It was everything I’d hoped for it to be and then some.
