I agree with Andrew. I'm in technical sales, and it's axiomatic that you present product information as soon as "feasible",in part to maintain interest during market introduction and deny sales to the competition.
I would, personally, rather have them work on the product(s) than publishing details that they may have to change on short notice (and then have people complain vociferously about "broken promises" and such) .As we have seen in the last several days with the P3SVGA, the "hams making things for hams" at Elecraft are working until the bitter end to make the best product possible.

They have more insight than we do into what must be a very complex pipeline of schedules, developers, workflows, parts providers, etc., and they know eager customers are waiting. If this info were ready, they'd have posted it. When it is, I bet they will. Until then, many of the answers are likely "well that depends..." --Andrew, NV1B On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 8:08 PM, W0UCE <w0...@nc.rr.com> wrote: > Wayne & Eric: > > > > While many customers anxiously await KX3 product release there are also > many > Elecraft customers like myself that EAGERLY await KAT 500 product > information such as specs, features, functions, anticipated first KAT500 > assembled and kit shipping dates.
