Bob (et al): I have nothing to do with Elecraft inside operations in any way, shape, or form, but your request has only ONE answer. If they still waiting on parts, in terms of p>.99, Elecraft has ZERO idea of when the radios can or will ship. The ONLY time they can "forecast" delivery dates for the K3, with any real probably of success, is AFTER they receive all of the correct and properly functioning parts. Once those are in-house, then Elecraft is in control. Until then, Elecraft is NOT in control.
Vendor promises, while often trusted, are "nothing but words." Parts in hand is the only thing that counts.This is not a criticism, it is simply reality (what you called "brutally honest"). If you are looking for "honest" communications (and I think we all are), then I'd ask Elecraft to let us know when they have all of the parts in hand AND have confirmed that they are the right parts AND that they actually function as per/meet Elecraft specs. Failing receipt of "everything" from all of the vendors, anything posted about delivery is, in reality, total guess-work. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
