My complaint was not the delay but the lack of communication. Hey, Elecraft is a COMPANY, not the second coming! At least 200 people laid out a 50% payment IN ADVANCE. That would be from $1000 for a barebones modular kit to around $2000 for a loaded, built K3. So figuring an average of $1500, that $300,000 of OUR money that is in Elecraft's hands. For that, I would expect to be kept up to date on shipping. I am sorry if that offends those who worship at the Elecraft Altar, but I am not a believer in their divinity, just a customer. -- John - W2AGN _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
