That's why I keep insisting that my KX3 will have almost three years by the time I'm finally able to use it on 2m with the so much anticipated 2m module. I love ElecraftI really do, but that part of their bussiness really sucks! 73, Robert-KP4Y Sent from my mobile phone. - Reply

Another perspective is that this part of Elecraft's business is excellent (instead of sucks) because we get advance visibility of products. At the same time we should realize the risk of advance notice is that factors out of Elecraft's control, e.g. parts availability, may slip the actual ship

IMHO the amp was way ahead of the 2m module as far as demand goes, good business decision on their part. If 2m was a big deal to me I would have kept my FT-817 just for that. I might add I plan on not adding either at present to my station. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 5210--K2/100 #

I would support this perspective as it's mine. I appreciate Elecraft giving us advance notice of products and being able to pre-order along with giving input to product direction by open discussion with the people making those choices. Tighe NK4I On 1/9/2014 7:45 AM, Ed Muns wrote:
