I wanted a K3 since I first heard of it. One CHOICE was to make an
INVESTMENT in the company and pay up front to help get them into
production. I KNEW none were in production yet and parts were being
procured. Working in the electronics industry I know how suppliers
can really mess up production by not delivering parts on time. So I
CHOSE not to do this and wait until they were in full production.
Nobody forced me to place my order then, nor pay up front for it. It
would have been my CHOICE.
I will not blame Elecraft for things outside of their control. They
are doing the best they can. And they will deliver. Making them spend
time answering "when will my K3 ship?" emails only takes away from
time spent producing the product. I feel their updates are very
genuine and to intimate that they are screwing anyone is insane.
I will order my K3 at the appropriate time. That is my CHOICE. Those
who CHOSE to order before production, knowing full well it would take
some time, should be patient with their INVESTMENT. At least we know
this investment will be a good one and we'll all get our K3's in good
time.
My $0.02 and my CHOICE.
