[Elecraft] K3 by June?

[Bill kimura]

Greetings everyone,
I just ordered my 1st HF radio the other day, (K3) and I was told that
the expected ship date would be June. (4 months out)  After reading
numerous threads on this mailing list about people receiving their
units 8, 9, 10 months after placing the order, it's hard to be optimistic
that I'll actually
see my unit in 4 months.  Does anyone think that this is a realistic date,
or will I most likely be waiting 8-10 months?  Has Elecraft ramped up
their production at all recently to be able to get these units out the
door faster?

Thanks,
- Bill (KB1PXD)

[Elecraft] Filter question

[Bill Kimura]

Greetings everyone,
I just ordered my 1st HF transceiver this afternoon. (K3/100-F)
The modes that I'm primarily in are as follows:

SSB
CW
PSK31
AM - listening, not necessarily transmitting
FM - listening only

I've ordered the following roofing filters:
200hz ( primarily for PSK31 and other digital modes)
500hz ( primarily for general CW use)

However, I'd like to be able to listen to AM broadcasts such as BBC, etc
without compromising fidelity.  Being that I only want to listen on  
AM and
not necessarily transmit, and that I'd like to be able to listen to  
some FM as
well, what filter do I need?  (6khz and/or FM roofing filters, or  
will the

KBPF3 general coverage RX filter module cover me?)  I guess I'm a little
confused as to what the KBPF3 is really providing.

Thanks,
- Bill
