Can anybody tell me, from the Elecraft or list, what are the sizes of the K3
shipping boxes, for the K3 Transceiver Modular Kit (including KAT3, KPA3 and

Any answer would be very much appreciated.

I placed my order in late Sept. That puts me squarely in the 3rd
production run but prior to the Oct 1 date. Could it be that they're
saying only orders after Oct 1 are scheduled for early Jan but earlier
3rd run orders are still targeted for Dec?
I think there is a LOT of stuff to happen
No, it say's ...
New K3 (3rd Pr. run) orders received after Oct 1st are scheduled for
shipment in early January.
If you placed your order in Sept, that puts you in the 2nd run and you
should get yours sometime after 12-Nov. What makes to think you are in the
3rd run?

At the time of my order, 1st and 2nd runs were sold out. That told me

I think all it's saying is that orders after Oct 1 are scheduled for

Kevin,
The KAT100-2 has all the 'hooks' to mount the KPA100 in the same EC-2
enclosure.
If you already have a KAT100-1, there is a conversion kit to add the
missing pieces, but you will have to order the EC2 enclosure
separately. This is a 'no holes' solution.

this is for a 10 MHz or 49 MHz input signal .. the faq indicates

This option will be for use with a 10 MHz reference as you suggest. I'm
