I can’t imagine how it would feel to know that I had laid out $4k two years ago, and still be waiting for fulfillment. NO, actually I can. Several years ago, an up-and-coming system integration business I had been associated with for several years (as a VAR) was going thru many of the

Hi, First off, sorry for your loss. As to options, and especially modifications, I very much would like Elecraft to give each modification a number so there can be a sticker in a radio that says: This radio has the following modifications: 01, 02, 03, 04, 06, 08, 12. That would make these

As the kids say, "cool story, bro." None of it changes the fact that lots of people have put out a lot of money with almost zero visibility into when they will get their product, and the K4 situation doesn't have the significantly leveraged upside that your story did.  There isn't the same
