Much has been posted here about this topic. I've also seen (and heard) considerable correspondence from some top operators who have been testing pre-production K3s under some rather torturous contest and QRN conditions. Although I'm not privy to internal communications at Elecraft, I'd bet that this testing has caused some of the fine points of the design to be tweaked. I'd also bet that like any other manufacturer, Elecraft is experiencing delays on deliveries of critical parts.
So, while we're anxious to see the finished product on our operating bench, the second sort of delays are to be expected from any mfr who is reasonably picky about what parts they buy and where they buy them, and the first sort of delays will result in a better radio. So cool your jets, and give Wayne and Eric the breathing space to do their jobs. They have a long history of doing that very well. 73, Jim Brown K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
