I got an acknowledgement of my cancellation from Elecraft.  I'd suggest that anyone in Ralph's situation who decided not to pursue a K4 order should let them know so that people further down the waiting list can move up. 73, Pete N4ZR On 4/13/2023 12:07 AM, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP wrote: I hav

I have a K3 and a TS890s too. The TS890s is great in many respects, but the K3 still has much better NB/NR and APF features. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 13/04/2023 0:55, Wes wrote: I own a K3 and K3S (Both fine radios but now surplus

I own a K3 and K3S (Both fine radios but now surplus if anyone is interested) and I ordered a K4.  When I got tired of waiting I bought a TS-890 and couldn't be happier. Always liking a spare on hand I picked up a TS-590SG for a song. Wes  N7WS On 4/11/2023 6:41 PM, Ralph Parker wrote: >About

I am one of the long wait guys (SN694). None of the Group 3 orders required a payment ahead of time. The group 1 orders (full pre-payment) and Group 2 orders($1500. pre-payment) were classified as such based on voluntary pre-payment and given priority in delivery as production caught up with dem

Indeed. Perhaps they don't need to take deposits on K4s because they have enough operating funds from those of us who paid up 2 years ago and are still waiting. More than frustrating. 73 de Lee, AA4GA On Tue, Apr 11, 2023 at 9:42 PM Ralph Parker wrote: > >About 3 weeks ago, I ordered a K4D

Hi Pete - apparently (my guess) demand is high enough that they don't need to capture funds right away. When your radio is nearing the top of the queue (but not necessarily ready to ship), they'll send you an invoice for payment in full, and your radio will ship shortly thereafter. I don't speak

About 3 weeks ago, I ordered a K4D, and was surprised not to be asked for any money up front.  I also got an order number and acknowledgement from Madelyn Gomez, saying that delivery time should be 4-6 weeks. This struck me as an odd, though not unwelcome way to do business, perhaps reflecting
