Paid in full here since last year and ordered June 2019, try rationalizing that with spouse. Down to my last TT Orion of two, barely keeping it on the air. Almost at point of needing to cancel and ask money be returned so I can get something else and keep operating. Seeing nothing, hearing nothing (not even from anyone receiving a K-4 - assuming some are shipping). Latter I don’t understand how anyone would allow themselves to be bound in secrecy. If occurring must be significant benefit for observing code of silence. I see no light at all inside the tunnel.
