Well . . . maybe. I haven't seen the run 2 dates revised as the run 1 dates have been slipping away. I suspect they are having problems receiving a critical component that they are happy with. Could be anything from a critical board component to an acceptable front panel. I'm not excusing what's going on, but being from a manufacturing background - the most common cause of delays is having a problem with a supplier (just like we're experiencing) and being reluctant to hand out any more promises and guesses until having solid info from he supplier that can be broadcast. In this case hollow promises based on bad info is a lot more harmful than a simple "we have a problem and we're not ready to declare a resolve".
I received an e-mail on 10/14 stating I'd be shipped within two weeks. Aside from the 14th being a Sunday, unless it arrives today I'd say there's a problem that We all can only wait on. I'd expect a statement from "E" as soon as they have something they consider reliable info. Al WA6VNN?

I see that the 2nd production run is due to commence despatch on 19th November, so presumably all those ordered for the 1st production run will have been despatched before then. 73 David G4DMP ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
