You could add on "what options did you order?", since it's not hard to
envision an option being held up by a missing components, and X many
complete radios delayed while awaiting that option.

Technically you did not ask any questions.
If I were in your shoes, I too would like some more transparency into
things, but I'm not sure "how many people are ahead of me in the queue" is
the right question -- I'd guess they build in batches and many delays are
less "there are 42 radios ahead of you" and more "we're waiting on this one
part for this board before we can finish and ship this batch of 50” or
perhaps "we're finishing this batch of 50 and then we have two more batches
and then yours but also parts availability is a crapshoot".
In any case, I wish you a speedy delivery, and Elecraft safe and healthy
employees and plentiful parts inventory.

I readthe Elecraft (EC) Digest regularly and find many articles
interesting, and someuseful. The topic“K4 and Delivery Delays” has
appeared recently but I didn’t see anyone ask thequestions that are in my
mind. I placedmy order for a K4D in December 2021 and paid the $1500
deposit. I received an email acknowledgment from ECsaying that my order is
part of the group 3. The EC web site indicates that all orders for K4s in
group 1 and Group 2have been shipped, and that hams who are in Group 3 have
received emails. IMHO EC should provide more information tohams who have
ordered K4s, especially those of us who have invested theoptional $1500. I
believe that the ESD for the H4D that I ordered was lastprojected as June
or July 2022. In thisday of digital communication, it does not seem like
too much to ask that ECprovide hams who have ponied up the $1500, receive
regular (monthly) updatesthat show how many orders are in the que ahead of
theirs, and an updatedEstimated Delivery date, and final cost. I look
forward to a thoughtful answer to myquestions. N1OVA
