Wow! At least you got a hat with your radio.
I put down my $1500 deposit on a K4 at the 2019 Hamvention and waited
almost 2 and a half years to finally receive the radio. My very first
Elecraft purchase ever. When Madelyn emailed me to say the radio is
ready to ship, I asked for at least a K4 lapel pin button, like the ones
given away at that hamfest, or possibly a baseball cap to be thrown in
with the shipment. The radio was shipped with nothing but exactly what
I ordered. I guess I should be pleased with that, after the EXTREMELY
LONG WAIT. Unfortunately, I was never made aware of any K4 lapel pins
while at that hamfest, and it was never mentioned and I never saw anyone
handing them out. I was kinda disappointed. I realize it was not all
Elecraft's fault. So many issues came up during that wait period, but I
also feel like the radio was announced and sold before it was truly
ready for production. All that money and EXTENDED wait, and not even a
"Sorry about the long wait... here's a little token of our
appreciation" That would have been appreciated.
Flame off.

My Elecraft hat cost $5700 but the free radio that came with it was a nice
touch! 🤣

My wife in cleaning a junk bin this weekend found a “...filthy, dirty hat.
Can I throw it out?” She brandished my Elecraft hat.
I screamed. “I’ve been looking for that hat for months!!! You may NOT throw
it out and if you do I’ll buy two more to replace it!” She gave me a long
suffering glance and relinquished it. It’s now safely in my part of the
closet. I thought I was going insane because I couldn’t find it.
