Well said, Mike and duly noted. But, as one of the impatient ones I should
remind you that it is not the waiting that is annoying to so many of us but
the *lack of accurate information*. When there are only vague
generalizations ("more than 20", "definetly higher than 30") then those who
have made plans for their K3 on specific dates are left to wonder and all of
the others to speculate wildly as to what is up at Aptos.
I am one of those who have been worshiping at the church of Elecraft (and
been an active missionary on many occassions) I feel justified in raising
these concerns. All of this will be soon forgotten if, indeed, Eric follows
through with his committment to provide some actual information next week.
More vague suggestions that all is well will only fuel unseemly
speculations.
Waiting as patiently as I can ...

As a long-time observer of the Elecraft scene and owner of a K2, I can't
help but marvel at the impatience exhibited by some hams while awaiting
the
arrival of their K3. These are exciting times for the Elecraft family of
clients.
This new radio represents a giant leap in a kit radio and the effort to
get
it right the first time by Elecraft is commendable. But it takes time and
there can be unexpected delays, sometimes beyond Elecraft control, as has
been
explained from time to time.
I for one, would like to congratulate Eric, Wayne and the entire Elecraft
gang for creating some of the best value amateur radio equipment currently
available in today's marketplace. Moreover, I think that the level of
support and
their willingness to listen to their "family of clients" is exemplary.
If I could offer any suggestions, it would be for those who are awaiting
their new K3, to have a little patience! I have no doubt that Elecraft is
doing
its utmost to get your K3 to you and when it arrives, I'm sure that you
will
not be disappointed with either its quality or performance.
That's my two cents!
