Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K144XV now shipping
A request to everyone - not associated with the subject - I could not make out who was saying what in this post below, nor could I find the new content readily. PLEASE - Use Top Posting - that way your response is at the top where everyone can take notice. IMHO, in-line comments should be reserved for special occasions where nothing else makes sense. I scrolled down through this post quickly and saw the blue vertical lines on all the text lines, so I would have to read the entire content over carefully to see what had been added. If you do not like top posting, then please edit the previous post to only a few relevant lines and add your thought/comments/etc. With the volume of traffic on this reflector, one should be able to find your comments quickly and decide whether to post a response or just let it pass. I know top posting is not correct 'netiquette' in some circles, but this is the Elecraft reflector, and Eric has approved both top posting and bottom posting, although I wish he would encourage top posting more - it helps a lot when I am scanning the latest postings. 73, Don W3FPR Jan Holmer SM6TUW wrote: Bruce Beford-2 wrote: David, G4DMP wrote: According to the Shipping Status I see that the K144XV started shipping last Saturday (11/21 US).

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K144XV now shipping
Jan, The manual is being completed as we speak. It will certainly be made available as soon as possible. We had a number of supply-chain delays on this product, as well as a second prototyping phase. But things are now flowing smoothly, and I expect to see production units soon. I'm on the hook for some final firmware on the K3 side, putting me in the critical path, as usual. All I can say (other than to apologize for the delays) is that this unit rocks, and it will be worth the wait :) 73, Wayne N6KR Jan Holmer SM6TUW wrote: Jan Holmer SM6TUW wrote: I also ordered minutes after the web orders were activated.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K144XV now shipping
How about a little patience. What difference does it make? The installation manual won't help much until we have it in our hot little hands anyway, and you can't use it 'till you have it. The internet has turned us all into a bunch of impatient mean-spirited people who love to complain and hypothesize conspiracy -- me included :-) The website shows the estimated ship date as 12/9. Sounds like it will arrive about the time that Santa does ...

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K144XV now shipping
Among other items, the manual requires pictures for installation of the K144XV components in the K3. Its not just an operating manual. We go through a step by step installation process as we document the K11XV, and that requires all of the parts to be here before the manual is completed. Rather than use an early prototype, we want our manual pictures to match the production version. We've been shipping the needed items over to Ron as fast as possible as they have arrived here. Manual release is also dependent on what other projects the manual writer is working on. Its getting close and we'll post the manual as fast as we can. 73, Eric Jan Holmer SM6TUW wrote: Jan Holmer SM6TUW wrote: I also ordered minutes after the web orders were activated.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K144XV now shipping
Top posting is the official standard for this list, and its especially important for those of us who also read our email on PDA phones. (I'm using the new Motorola Droid..) Reading the response first, at the top, is a hige time saver. 73, Eric WA6HHQ elecraft List Moderator Don Wilhelm wrote: A request to everyone - not associated with the subject - I could not make out who was saying what in this post below, nor could I find the new content readily.
