I imagine that there is no one who wants the K4 out the door more than Elecraft does.  It makes no sense to think that they are intentionally dragging their feet.

Lets see, solved pre COVID, then COVID arrives, and messes up all existing scheduling...  No surprise here...

I doubt Elecraft has initiated a "string-along" process...  All good things take time...  In the middle of all this COVID crap, I am surprised Elecraft can do repair and return...

The parts availability issue was supposed to have been resolved pre-covid.

Eric did a Zoom meeting with the East Coast Ham Operators (ECHO) group on
7/14 (Tuesday).

It was nice to see and hear some of the history of Elecraft.

The question of K4 production was asked.  He was very forthright.  They
have adjusted their manufacturing process for employee safety.  Good to
hear.

Eric said that the hold up right now is parts.  Unfortunately they can't
control the big manufacturers.  It does sound like production will be
soon.  Personally, I can't wait.  The more I hear about the radio, the more
excited I get.  I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to get here.

IIRC, ECHO plans to post the video on their youtube channel soon (

What I want to see on this list is when the K4 goes into production.
Everything else is immaterial. That is what I am looking for. The Eureka
announcement.

I can not tell you how many things, parts, drugs, cars, boats,planes,
lumber,steel, food, travel are impacted by the pandemic that this is
little
stuff and the K3 still soldiers on waiting for it's retirement, hopefully
sooner than later.
