Yes, the folks in Aptos are working 7 days a week to handle the K3
backlog. Let's hope they don't suffer from overload stress too much
longer - this same kind of effort has been going on since early
December, those folks are on the verge of burn-out IMHO.
So for those who are so very disappointed about the schedules, Yes, I
believe you should cancel your order. The others who are waiting for
delivery of their K3 will be happier for it, it means that they will get
theirs sooner - they will be able to enjoy the K3 with the functions now
available (and the added functions to follow as development efforts
allow) and you can wait until everything is firmly in place before
placing your order for the K3. Those who order now can expect delivery
in about 4 months - that is quite a reduction from those who ordered in
mid-May 2007 who are now receiving their K3s after an 8 month wait. The
shipping schedule has been publicized for some time now and I just do
not understand those who seem to believe there are some secrets being
kept - certainly the number of outstanding orders will not be made
public, and some seem to insist that just that data be made available -
well, it "ain't 'go-na happen".
If you want to "know the numbers", Elecraft is currently shipping 15 to
20 K3s per week, and if the shipping date for current orders is
mid-April, then there is somewhere between 255 and 340 K3s on order
right now - simple calculation reveals that result - what more
information do some folks need?
