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 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KAT500--W2 Amps Elecraft KPA500 HF/6m--Alpha's 9500 HF--87A HF--Mirage B-5030-G 300+w--(2) B-5016-G's 165w 2m -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Robert Vargas - KP4Y Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 6:07 AM To: Elecraft Mailing List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 Shipping Status Update 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 Elecraft....I really do, but that part of their bussiness really sucks! 73, Robert-KP4Y Sent from my mobile phone. ----- Reply message ----- From: n...@comcast.net To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Elecraft] KXPA100 Shipping Status Update Date: Thu, Jan 9, 2014 12:00 AM I ordered a KPXA100 kit on June 17th with expectations, at that time, of an October delivery. I was beginning to think maybe it was October 2014. I love the Elecraft products and know that they want to get it right the first time. That seems to happen most of the time, or at least it's close to being right. However, the standard operating procedure seems to be to announce a product, generate a huge amount of interest, start taking orders and then expecting everyone to wait and wait some more. At any rate, many of you waiting for the kit will move up one notch as I cancelled my order today after finally receiving an invoice. After waiting and waiting, I found other ham radio things to spend the money on. I will not be purchasing a KXPA100 ever. To keep this on topic a bit, the "Shipping Status" and its "updates ??" is a joke. For as well as it isn't maintained, no one should waste their time on it. 73, Dave N8AG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
