All of that is true, except that it doesn't take somebody like Wayne or
Eric or any of their engineers to draft a weekly status report to those
who have put down a deposit. Anybody who speaks with them regularly
could do it. I haven't ordered a K4 and don't know if I ever will, but
I'd be pretty upset to have put down that much money for ANY item with
this little regular feedback on its shipping status since I can't think
of a good excuse for it. From what I've seen, just about every status
email from Elecraft has talked about K4 feature issues instead of when
it might actually be delivered ... so no, I don't think that's being
very transparent. A year is a very long time to have your money tied
up, and along with that comes some measure of responsibility to account
for it.

A lot of us are in the same place you are, but Eric & Wayne have been transparent
about how long this was going to take and why for the last year or so. Last I heard the
K4 was to have been shipping by now, BUT that's kind of hard to do when one’s county
and state have shut down one's manufacturing plant due to coronavirus. IMHO a bit
beyond Eric & Wayne’s control at this point…

It has been exactly 52 weeks since I placed an order for the K4, with a full
deposit.
I truly understand all of the current difficulties, but would appreciate a
status report.
