Im sure they will come in some due time..
What is strange for some of us outsiders is the logic
We will have boards when the K3S demand is met? sounds like there is not
enough money to buy more boards than what they expect K3S sales to be?
Ordering another few hundred extra of the boards would solve the problem
of not
having enough on hand. Or is the supplier that slow? Can they only
provide a
few boards a week?
Seems the K3 was funded partially by guys paying up front and having a 6
month
wait when this started years back, I assume a lot of those are still
around and
willing to pay up front if money is that short now.
Stretching some of this stuff out for a year or more does not help
business, only
the most dedicated go for that idea.
Perhaps its a labor shortage/paying for more labor, cant sell them yet
as no
instructions written, or "testing" done? Seems there are a number of
guys
willing to help out on that end.
So all the quiet and non fulfilled talk is just that, talk, just being
honest and
frank about whats up and why its not available would put to rest the
speculation
and angst that silence brews.
Not criticizing, just wondering, I need a couple and keep putting off
installing
KYSN3 boards in one radio, its been apart for so many mods the screws are
wearing out, had to replace them to keep it decent looking. Had
chipped off
the black.
Which reminds me on another thing, I have had lots of knobs crack on the K3
Elecraft has been super at replacing them, the last ones I got have a
metal
insert and will never crack I assume, but they are butt ugly, instead
of semi
shiny black knobs, they are a dull black material that looks like
something that
came on some military piece of junk. Not even a close match to the
other knobs.
Wazzup with this deal...

Jerry,
You are correct, I am not going to speculate other than to say "it
will happen sometime", but that may not be the end of this year as was
projected back at Dayton in May 2015.
I have no idea when that 'sometime' is because I have no information
about the production capability of the board house supplying Elecraft
with the KIO3B vs. the number of K3S units being ordered and shipped.
When there are enough in house to supply both the K3S and the expected
deluge of orders anticipated for K3 upgrades, then you will see the
KIO3B offered for K3 upgrades.
