I apologize again for any lack in prompt communications of our K3 shipping status. We get over optimistic at times, and to be honest, some of the problems with suppliers cropped up just during the past week, while I was in Japan. Yes, we're a relatively small Ham Radio company, and we are fiel

CQ CQ CQ Can we all relax a bit and stop bickering about the delays, the lack of communications about them and whether it's a Brit of Yank thing to 'claim one's right' ? Elecraft have acknowledged that they should have more (and better) communications to their customers, and they have indeed sent
