The main problem Greg is inconsistency of information. The way I read the latest update is : w/c 26 Nov - shipping remaining orders received on 1 May w/c 3 Dec - shipping orders received on 2 May that seems fairly clear, we also know that that the first peak went on to 3 May so it seems reaso

Oh come on now, David...there is no "fiasco". The folks at Aptos are doing a marvelous job. They've had to deal with things that just "happen" when you have a complex production operation and are relying on subs for contract parts/boards. So the first K3's didn't come out on the original sch

Sadly, Julian, Elecraft's previous good name is being tarnished by the K3 fiasco. For several months, non-Elecraft users have been asking me about my K3. I keep putting them off and telling them I will let them know when I get it. Unfortunately, with them it has now become somewhat of a joke.
