I didn't order my kit till Jan 9th, :(
I bet kits ship out faster than factory builds. Hopefully they have been
stock piling kits while the manual was being refined. Maybe a couple
hundred will go out on the 18th!

I went back this morning to the tracking list and the date of Dec 30th was
changed to Dec 28th. So whoever entered it went back and changed it to the
actual date. So I am guessing the wait for my Dec 31st order is likely still
much longer than I thought it was only a couple days ago.

Can anyone explain the sequence of order numbers for KX3?
The Confirmation number is an array of 12 digits. When I look
at the conf # 2208-4537-7265 shown by Elecraft to relate
to a 12/28/11 order, I am confused since the last four digits
of my conf number is a much lower number. I must be
Mike,
You are trying to gain information from a number that does not contain
anything other than just a number
If you ordered on-line, there are several other companies that use that
same ordering service, and the numbers are sequential for that entire
service.
It is just a number used for
I was so stoked to see that there was an order on the list that said his / her
order date was Dec 30th unknown time. That is a big jump. I ordered mine on the
31st so I got to be getting close. Very excited as this will be my biz travel
radio. Now need to find a good super ultra penultimatr
Hi Keith,
You are definitely closer than me! I wasn't able to order mine until January
11 ...
but I am hoping that the backlog did not grow as quickly between December 30
and
January 11 as it did for the first few days of orders! I have been using my K3
on my
portable 6m EME DXpeditions,
Initially, I felt like I ordered fairly quickly - until the spreadsheet
started and everybody and their brother was talking about what time (down
to the second!) they placed their order.
I didn't have a time (not even a date!) - just the order number. I wrote
the order number down somewhere and
Hi Lance,
I am excited to get my KX3. It will be great to have for a biz travel radio and
also when I need to visit my ailing mom in Florida. Being on the road
constantly is tough and I have struggled with getting Remoterig operational to
be honest. So having the KX3, a powerwerx 35 amp small
Whoops I didn't see that Lance cc:d the entire Elecraft group on my iphone. My
opinions on HF I thought was going to Lance only. Please don't take offense
anyone, I do love HF and I chase DX there evey weekend I can. I know that HF is
also very challenging for many of us. It is also much more
Thanks, Don. I suspected that the conf # had no predictive value.
I was misled a bit by the comment on the Order Status page that
suggested that removing the dashes would give a meaningful (to me)
index into the future. More meaningful is that they also said that they
were

Kieth,
How about a tape measure beam? I believe 6 meters would be practical.
See http://www.ccars.org/Projects/TapeYagi/index.htm for one example -
increase the size for 6 meters.

I took a minute to look at the links, and I think the 6m yagi would have some
problems with droop and the elements folding, BUT Don's idea has a lot of
merit.
I think a 6m Halo's (round and square) could be very nicely done with a
tape-measure pvc construction. Also, a Moxon beam might
I don't get the appeal of tape measure material for antenna elements. Other
than its
'self-measurement' property, what's good about it? It is made of steel, which
has a
relatively high resistance, and isn't particularly durable.

Not only that, a five foot long tape measure is gonna buckle when the first

The 1 inch wide tape material is not likely to buckle as long as it is
kept flat and horizontal,
Lowes DIY Kobalt brand comes in 1 inch wide - I have not seen the
refills for that tape, but have not looked either. I can stretch mine
out to almost 10 feet before it drops.

To add to Vic's comment, the connections between the tape and the feeder
would have to be well protected against moisture and rain. Any corrosion of
these connections could result in BCI to nearby FM broadcast receivers - the
rusty bolt effect.

I decided my kit will be shipped to me on July 5th. I figure the ramp-up on
kits will take off in about a month or so and then the numbers shipped will
rapidly escalate. I'm #151 on the kit spreadsheet so we'll see ;-)
