We've planned on ramping up production to this point from the start and to be honest, for ongoing business in this market long term, it is important that we get the lead time down to a very short time. My intuition says you'll get a flurry of orders immediately after announcing that K3s are shipping from stock. I know I was planning to order one as soon as they are in stock, and I'm sure others are also. Amateur radio has taken a back seat to other hobbies for the time being, but if the bug bites hard again and K3s are in stock I'll order one. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: shipping status updated
I've not yet seen a unit that was advertised here arrive in 4 months yet... Maybe they are catching up. I kinda like things remaining behind a bit... Means that K3's are going out as quickly as possible and is good news for Elecraft... So long as customers are willing to wait for a K3 and I think people have spoken that they will.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: shipping status updated
This delivery time is -forward- looking, and is a direct calculation based on current and projected production rates. Looking backwards the time will always be longer as we have been continually increasing production rates each month. We are now producing at a rate ahead of current orders.

RE: [Elecraft] K3: shipping status updated
Very cool. Kinda upsetting that you're now going faster than orders but it's also a plus. I was liking that units were being sold faster than they could be made for a while but with the 7600 and what not coming out getting to a point where one can just be ordered and shipped may not be that bad of a thing. I can definitely see the wait being something that sways someone away from the K3. I must admit that mine was definitely worth the wait. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 12:14 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: shipping status updated This delivery time is -forward- looking, and is a direct calculation based on current and projected production rates.
