Hello, Elecraft's shipping estimates are not accurate. I had ordered a K3 from them in August of last year with 50% deposit. I waited no word, I waited , no word. I then called them in late December and was told, "sometime after February of next year." I then pulled my K3 order and asked for my $1300 back. Since then I have purchased a radio that I really love. I might still purchase a K3, but not until Elecraft gets their act together and has them ON THE SHELF. I'm now looking to buy a HF/VHF/UHF rig, so the K3 will wait for a couple of years. That's probably how long it will take them to have a K3 on the shelf.
Elecraft was not ready to start selling K3s and they know it. This situation has left me with, " a bad taste in my mouth" concerning Elecraft. Oh yes, I have built a K1, K2 and a KX1. All are great radios and all arrived here in a REASONABLE time period. I can't say that for their K3. 72, Ed, WA3WSJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
