Hello Ed, Yes, some people would prefer to wait till they can buy one without waiting...
For myself, I ordered one before I'd decided whether or not to actually buy one-- so it is really Elecraft who is waiting for me. I think they will be sending me an email any day now asking for my decision. I imagine they are probably getting pretty nervous about my final intentions by now. There is a lot of psychology in all this. 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 21 May 2008 08:10:07 -0400, Ed, WA3WSJ wrote: >Hello Drew, AF2Z > >I plunked down over $1300 for a deposit on my K3, but after waiting five >months and then calling Elecraft they told me to wait another three >months.
