[Elecraft] K3 Options Last Time Buy Update (9/15/23)

[Eric Swartz]

Good news - We are now moving along smoothly on the majority of our K3
Option purchasing, assembly and testing. Here is the latest status as of
9/15/23.

*KPA3A 100W PA: * These should begin shipping in the next 2-3 weeks.
We have completed building and testing the main KPA3A PA modules and are
now kitting the mounting hardware and packaging everything for shipping.
We are also now contacting  those of you with  KPA3A deposit orders to
confirm your order and your K3/K3S serial number. (The S/N is important to
make sure the installation hardware and PA interface I/O board match your
radio revision.)

*KXV3B Xverter interface:*  Out for PCB assembly followed by factory
testing. We expect to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.

*P3TXMON:*  Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to
begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.

*KAT3A ATU:* Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect
to begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.

*KDVR3A*:  Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to
begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.

*P3SVGA:*  Out for PCB assembly, followed by factory testing. We expect to
begin shipping in the next 5-6 weeks.

*K3EXREF:*  Purchasing final parts and PCB fabs, then out to PCB assembly,
followed by factory testing. We hope to begin shipping in the next 6-8
weeks.

*KBPF3A:* Purchasing final parts and PCB fabs, then out to PCB assembly,
followed by factory testing. We hope to begin shipping in the next 6-8
weeks.

*K3/0 and P3*. These will be the last two K3 Options we build, as they are
more complex and are taking more time to source key parts, sheet metal,
displays etc. We will update the shipping  status on these after we begin
shipping the other K3 options listed above.

I'll post updates as we get closer to shipping these options. (And
if some begin shipping earlier than the above schedule. :-)

73,
Eric
