It's great that we are closing in on the first deliveries now. Being in the line for the 2nd production run I can't wait to hear for all you lucky First-Production-Run-Guys.
I am actually quite satisfied with the delays! In my daily work in a production company with R&D as an important parameter for us I know that projects of a certain complexity and size normally presents you with hick-ups delaying the plans. Either you deal with them up front (which might delay the project) or you end up spending 10 times the resources fighting with "after-sales issues". I don't know why, but I some how forgot that when I bought my FT-2000 last year... :-( Fortunately I got my money back just in time to order the K3 ;-) IMHO the communication from Elecraft is unparalleled and combined with the delays it sends a clear signal that those guys are very professionel & devoted in supplying the ham community with the best of the best more than they care about the ever important cash flow. This is indeed unlike some of the other players in the market... The day Wayne, Eric & Co. decides to retire in order to catch up with the family and actually make some QSO's as well, will be a sad day for our community. Well, back to work... take care! 73, Per oz5abo _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
